Description
The IRWIN INDUSTRIAL TOOL CO 2078408 is an 8-inch slip joint plier built for plumbers, pipefitters, and general trade use where a reliable, multi-position gripping tool is required. The jaws are machined for maximum gripping strength and feature right-angle teeth that bite in all directions. The cutting edge is induction hardened for extended edge retention. The ProTouch grip is designed with an anti-pinch, non-slip profile to reduce hand fatigue during prolonged use. At 3.54 pounds per package of 5 units, each plier is constructed from nickel chromium steel for durability in demanding job-site conditions.
These slip joint pliers are suited for residential and light commercial applications including plumbing rough-in, fixture work, and general mechanical service. The variable-size jaw adjustment makes them adaptable across a range of fastener and pipe sizes without switching tools. They are a standard addition to a plumber’s or general tradesperson’s hand tool kit and perform well in tight spaces where adjustable-jaw grip is needed quickly.
