Proto J293WRXL Locking Plier Mini with Cutter Curved Jaw

Product Description

The PROTO J293WRXL is a compact locking plier built for tight-access work where a standard-length tool will not fit. At under 6 inches in overall length, this mini plier locks onto workpieces with a curved jaw that opens to 1-19/64 inches. A built-in cutter adds wire and small cable cutting capability without requiring a second tool. The jaw measures 21/64 inches wide and 55/64 inches deep, giving technicians a reliable bite on fittings, wire, or small-diameter pipe in confined spaces. The standard handle style keeps the grip straightforward for one-handed locking and release. Weighing 0.4 pounds, it carries easily in a pouch or tool bag.

This locking plier is suited for residential and light commercial service work in HVAC, plumbing, and electrical trades. Its small footprint makes it practical for working inside electrical panels, air handler cabinets, and mechanical chases where larger locking pliers cannot reach. The integrated cutter is useful for cutting control wiring, small gauge conductors, or zip ties during installation and service. Technicians who work in confined equipment rooms or attic installations will find the compact length a consistent advantage.

Installation Notes

This tool is used by licensed HVAC technicians, plumbers, and electricians for gripping, clamping, and cutting tasks during service and installation. Always de-energize electrical circuits per NEC requirements before using any plier in an electrical panel or control board enclosure. Inspect the locking adjustment screw before each use and confirm the jaw locks securely at the intended opening before applying force to a workpiece.
