Morris Products 440 Tongue Groove Pliers 12 Inch

Product Description

The MORRIS PRODUCTS 440 is a 12-inch tongue and groove plier designed for gripping, turning, and holding in demanding trade environments. Built from high carbon steel with a forged construction, this tool delivers reliable jaw strength across a wide range of fastener and pipe sizes. The straight jaw opens to a 2.25-inch capacity, and seven adjustment positions allow quick resizing on the job. A PermaLock fastener keeps the pivot joint secure, eliminating the loosening failures common with standard nut-and-bolt pivot designs. Right-angle, laser heat-treated teeth provide a firm, lasting grip on round and flat stock. Electricians, plumbers, HVAC techs, and general tradespeople will find this a dependable all-around hand tool.

This plier is suited for residential and light commercial work where a reliable gripping tool is needed across multiple applications including cutting, clamping, and tightening. The undercut tongue and groove design resists slipping under load. Blue comfort grips reduce hand fatigue during extended use. The 1.5-inch jaw length and 0.5-inch joint thickness keep the tool compact enough for tight work areas while still covering standard trade tasks.

Installation Notes

This tool is used across electrical, plumbing, and HVAC trades for gripping, rotating, and holding components during installation and service work.
