It adjusts to an overall length range of 9 to 11.9 inches and delivers a maximum jaw opening of 2-23\/64 inches, with a jaw depth of 1-1\/2 inches and a jaw width of 25\/64 inches. The curved jaw profile concentrates clamping force on pipe, conduit, fittings, and fasteners that straight-jaw tools struggle to hold. A standard handle provides reliable hand control during extended use. Plumbers, pipefitters, HVAC technicians, and electricians use locking pliers like this one for clamping, gripping, and turning tasks where sustained pressure is needed without continuous hand force.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe J292XL suits a wide range of residential and light commercial service applications. It is well-suited for gripping pipe nipples and fittings during assembly, holding components in place during soldering or brazing, clamping conduit or tubing, and removing seized or rounded fasteners. The adjustable locking mechanism allows the technician to preset jaw opening to the workpiece, then lock it in place for hands-free holding or steady torque application. This makes it practical for both bench work and in-field service calls where a second set of hands is not available.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCurved jaw style grips pipe, conduit, and irregular shapes securely\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAdjustable overall length range of 9 to 11.9 inches accommodates varied workpiece sizes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMaximum jaw opening of 2-23\/64 inches handles a broad range of pipe and fitting diameters\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eJaw depth of 1-1\/2 inches provides deep, stable contact on the workpiece\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStandard handle design offers consistent grip and hand comfort during repetitive use\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLocking mechanism holds jaw position without continuous hand pressure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a general-purpose curved-jaw locking plier suitable for use in plumbing, HVAC, electrical, and mechanical service work where adjustable clamping and gripping are required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLocking pliers are a hand tool requiring no installation, but proper use protects both the tool and the workpiece. Adjust the jaw opening to match the workpiece before engaging the lock to avoid slippage or jaw damage. When working on live systems, de-energize electrical circuits and shut off fluid or gas supply before using any hand tools on system components. Follow applicable trade codes and job-site safety requirements during service work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length Range\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9 to 11.9 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eJaw Opening\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2-23\/64 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eJaw Depth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1-1\/2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eJaw Width\u003c\/strong\u003e: 25\/64 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eJaw Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: Curved\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Standard\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlier Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Locking\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.37 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 27110000\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: PROTO\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: J292XL\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"PROTO","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51543047864626,"sku":"J292XL","price":40.15,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/6c945ea4b0dab738b3f52ef58f980657.jpg?v=1785914496","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/proto-j292xl-locking-pliers-curved-jaw-2-23-64-in-opening","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
