Constructed from alloy steel with a nickel plated finish, these pliers deliver the grip strength and corrosion resistance that HVAC technicians, plumbers, electricians, and sheet metal workers expect on the job. The jaw is designed specifically for sheet metal applications, with a jaw capacity of 3 inches, a jaw length of 2.9 inches, and a jaw opening of 2.125 inches. The locking mechanism holds material securely without constant hand pressure, freeing the technician to work efficiently in tight spaces or awkward positions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese locking pliers are suited for residential and commercial service work where gripping, bending, or clamping sheet metal components is part of the task. Typical applications include duct fabrication, equipment installation, pipe gripping, and general mechanical work. The 9-inch overall length gives adequate leverage without being unwieldy in confined equipment spaces such as air handler cabinets, mechanical rooms, or electrical panels.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlloy steel construction for durability under heavy use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNickel plated finish resists corrosion in wet or high-humidity environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSheet metal jaw profile optimized for gripping flat and formed metal stock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3-inch jaw capacity accommodates a wide range of material thicknesses\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLocking mechanism holds grip without sustained hand pressure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e9-inch overall length provides controlled leverage for trade applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a general-purpose locking pliers tool suitable for sheet metal, HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and mechanical service applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese pliers are a hand tool requiring no installation. When using locking pliers near energized electrical components, ensure power is shut off and lockout\/tagout procedures are followed per NFPA 70E requirements. Adjust the jaw tension screw before clamping to avoid damaging finished surfaces or thin-gauge sheet metal. Inspect the locking mechanism for wear before each use to confirm secure engagement.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Alloy Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Nickel Plated\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eJaw Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Sheet Metal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eJaw Capacity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eJaw Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.9 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eJaw Opening\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.125 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eJaw Thickness\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.7 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eJaw Width\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.75 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.7 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.7 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.305 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC\u003c\/strong\u003e: 037103206787\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: APEX\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: C9WN\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"APEX","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51346464833842,"sku":"C9WN","price":33.39,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/310471931.jpg?v=1782080967","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/apex-c9wn-locking-pliers-9-inch-sheet-metal-jaw","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
