The jaw opens to 1-7\/8 inches and features a fast-release mechanism for quick adjustment and single-handed operation. The cushion grip handle is constructed from steel with a thermoplastic rubber overlay, providing control during extended use. Overall length falls in the 9 to 11.9 inch range. This tool is used by plumbers, HVAC technicians, electricians, and general trade professionals who need reliable clamping force without a separate release step.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe IRHT82573 suits residential and light commercial service work where a versatile locking plier is required.
