Proto J276GXL Slip Joint Combination Pliers 6.5 in

Product Description

The PROTO J276GXL is a slip joint combination pliers designed for general-purpose gripping, bending, and light cutting tasks in plumbing, HVAC, and electrical service work. It features a 2-position slip joint that lets the tech adjust jaw opening to fit different workpiece sizes without switching tools. The serrated jaw provides positive grip on pipe, fittings, wire, and hardware. Overall length is 6.5 inches, jaw length is 1.875 inches, and jaw width is 1.25 inches. The vinyl-coated handles provide grip and a degree of insulation comfort during use. At 0.5 pounds, this is a lightweight tool suited for tight-space work and everyday carry in a tool pouch.

The J276GXL is sized for residential and light commercial service applications where a compact, versatile hand tool is needed. The regular-nose head style works well in confined spaces around valve bodies, conduit fittings, and fixture connections. It is appropriate for use by licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, and electricians as a secondary gripping and manipulation tool on the job site or service van.

Installation Notes

This tool is used by plumbers, HVAC technicians, and electricians for gripping, bending, and light fastener work. Always de-energize circuits and shut off water or gas supply before using any hand tool on live systems. Inspect jaws and pivot joint before each use and replace the tool if the joint is loose or the serrations are worn smooth. Do not use pliers as a substitute for a proper wrench on precision fittings where torque control is required.
