Crescent C5CVN-08 Locking Pliers 5 Inch Curved Jaw

Product Description

The CRESCENT C5CVN-08 is a 5-inch curved-jaw locking pliers built for trade professionals who need a reliable gripping tool for fastening, clamping, and holding work in confined or awkward positions. Constructed from alloy steel with a nickel-plated finish, this tool resists corrosion and surface wear under regular job-site use. The curved jaw opens to 1.25 inches and features a jaw thickness of 0.3 inches and jaw width of 1.15 inches, making it well-suited for gripping round stock, pipes, and irregular shapes. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, and general tradespeople reach for this tool during installation and service tasks that demand a locked, hands-free grip.

The C5CVN-08 is sized for everyday trade carry and bench use. Its 5-inch overall length keeps it compact enough for tight spaces while providing enough leverage for most clamping applications. The curved jaw profile grips cylindrical and contoured surfaces more securely than flat-jaw designs, making it practical for pipe work, conduit runs, and mechanical assemblies. It is sold individually and is appropriate for both residential and light commercial service work across multiple trades.

Installation Notes

Locking pliers are a hand tool requiring no installation. Adjust the jaw opening using the knurled adjustment screw before applying the locking mechanism to avoid over-stressing the workpiece surface. Do not use locking pliers as a substitute for a proper pipe wrench or torque-rated fitting tool when a specific torque value is required by code or manufacturer specification. Inspect the jaw and locking mechanism for wear before each use.
