Ips Corporation 510297 Tongue Groove Pliers 16 Inch

Product Description

The IPS CORPORATION 510297 is a 16-inch tongue and groove plier designed for professional plumbing and general trade work. Built in the Channellock style, this tool features dipped handles for a secure, comfortable grip during extended use. At 16 inches in length, it delivers the leverage needed to tighten or remove large fittings, pipe nuts, and couplings. It is a standard hand tool carried by licensed plumbers and pipefitters working on both residential and commercial systems.

This plier is suited for plumbing rough-in and service work where larger-diameter fittings require firm, controlled torque. The 16-inch length provides extended reach in tight mechanical spaces and added leverage when breaking free stubborn connections. The dipped handles reduce hand fatigue on longer jobs and provide a non-slip grip in wet or oily conditions common on active job sites.

• Tongue and groove jaw design adjusts to multiple pipe and fitting sizes
