Product Information

Full details

The Dapetz 9 inch Long Nose Mole Grips are designed for professionals and DIY enthusiasts in the automotive, plumbing, and electrical fields who require a secure, hands-free hold on small or hard-to-reach components. These pliers excel at providing precision grip in restricted spaces, though users should note that the long-nose design is optimized for delicate or tight-clearance work rather than heavy-duty gripping of large, thick materials.

FAQs

What is the total length of these mole grips?

These pliers are 9 inches in total length.

Can I use these on rounded bolts?

Yes, the adjustable jaws can be set to securely grip rounded fasteners that standard wrenches might slip off.

Do these pliers have a wire cutter built in?

No, this specific model is designed for gripping and holding rather than wire cutting.

Are the handles insulated for electrical work?

The handles are ergonomic and non-slip, but they are not rated for high-voltage electrical insulation.

How do I release the grip?

Simply pull the release lever located inside the handle grip to disengage the locking mechanism.

Troubleshooting

The pliers do not lock securely.

Adjust the tension screw at the base of the handle until the jaws provide a tighter grip on the object.

The adjustment screw is stiff.

Apply a small amount of penetrating oil or lubricant to the screw threads and work it back and forth.

The pliers are slipping during use.

Ensure the jaw teeth are clean of oil and verify the clamping pressure is properly adjusted for the size of the object.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent reach for tight spaces
  • Hands-free locking capability
  • Durable high-quality steel build
  • Ergonomic handle design reduces fatigue

Cons

  • Not suitable for extremely large fasteners
  • Requires manual adjustment for different sizes
  • Long-nose profile may flex under excessive force

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up the pliers, rotate the adjusting screw at the end of the handle to widen or tighten the jaws until the gap is slightly smaller than the object you intend to hold. Engage the locking handle until it clicks securely into place. For care, wipe the tool clean with a dry cloth after use to remove grease or debris. Apply a light coating of machine oil to the pivot points and the adjusting screw periodically to maintain smooth operation and prevent corrosion.
