Channellock Inc 422 V-jaw Tongue and Groove Pliers 9.5 in

Product Description

The CHANNELLOCK INC 422 is a 9.5-inch V-jaw tongue and groove plier built for multi-purpose gripping, turning, and holding tasks in plumbing, mechanical, and general trade work. The V-jaw profile provides secure contact on round, flat, and irregular surfaces. Laser heat-treated teeth deliver bite and grip retention under load. With 5 jaw adjustment positions and a 1.5-inch jaw capacity, this plier handles a wide range of fastener and fitting sizes. Comfort-grip plastic handles reduce hand fatigue during extended use. This tool is appropriate for licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, electricians, and general contractors.

The 422 is suited for residential and light commercial applications where a reliable, adjustable gripping tool is required. Common tasks include tightening and loosening pipe fittings, nuts, and hose connections. The 5 adjustment positions allow the jaws to seat properly on both small and large work pieces without excessive play. The V-jaw geometry is especially effective on round stock and hex fittings where flat-jaw pliers tend to slip. This plier is sold in a package quantity of 5, making it appropriate for stocking service trucks or shop toolboxes.

Installation Notes

No installation is required for hand tools. Select the correct jaw adjustment position before applying force to avoid slipping or rounding off fittings. When working on pressurized plumbing or gas lines, shut off supply and depressurize the system before loosening any fittings. Inspect teeth and jaw alignment periodically and replace the tool if teeth are worn smooth or the adjustment mechanism is loose.
