Ideal 35-440 Tongue and Groove Pliers 12 Inches

Product Description

The IDEAL 35-440 is a 12-inch tongue and groove plier designed for gripping, turning, and holding a wide range of fasteners, pipes, fittings, and irregular shapes. Built for trade work, these pliers offer the extended reach and jaw capacity needed on commercial and residential jobsites. Electricians, plumbers, and HVAC technicians reach for tongue and groove pliers when standard pliers fall short on pipe fittings, conduit locknuts, and large-diameter fasteners. The 12-inch length provides increased leverage compared to standard 10-inch models, reducing hand fatigue during repetitive tasks.

Tongue and groove pliers in this size range are a staple on electrical, plumbing, and mechanical service calls. They are suited for tightening conduit connectors, working packing nuts on valves, adjusting slip-joint fittings, and general mechanical work where an adjustable grip is required. The 12-inch format is appropriate for both residential service and light commercial applications where a mid-size heavy-duty hand tool is preferred over a pipe wrench for lighter-duty gripping tasks.

Key Features

• 12-inch overall length for extended reach and increased leverage
• Tongue and groove adjustment allows jaw width to be set for various workpiece sizes
• Suited for pipe fittings, conduit locknuts, fasteners, and irregular shapes
• Standard hand tool for electricians, plumbers, and HVAC technicians

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose 12-inch tongue and groove plier suitable for electrical, plumbing, and HVAC trade applications.

Installation Notes

Tongue and groove pliers are a hand tool requiring no power source or installation. Select the correct jaw setting before applying force to avoid slipping on the workpiece. When working near energized electrical equipment, de-energize and lock out the circuit before using any hand tool in the work area. Follow applicable NEC, IPC, or IFGC guidelines for the specific trade task being performed.
