Stanley 84-055 Slip Joint Pliers 6-5/8 in 2-position

Product Description

The STANLEY 84-055 is a slip joint plier designed for gripping, bending, and turning tasks across plumbing, HVAC, and general mechanical service work. It measures 6-5/8 inches overall length with a 1-27/64 inch jaw length, giving technicians a compact tool suited for tight spaces and light-duty fastener work. The serrated pipe jaw provides a secure bite on round stock, pipe, and fittings. The thermoplastic rubber handle delivers grip control during extended use. This tool is a standard hand tool carried by plumbers, HVAC technicians, and general trades professionals.

The STANLEY 84-055 fits residential and light commercial service applications where a compact slip joint plier is needed. Common install and service scenarios include tightening packing nuts on valves, adjusting fittings, and holding small-diameter pipe during assembly or disassembly. The two-position slip joint head allows the technician to shift jaw width to match the work piece without switching tools. It is packaged individually and sold as a single unit.

Installation Notes

Slip joint pliers are a hand tool requiring no installation. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, and general service mechanics should ensure the correct jaw position is selected before applying torque to avoid slipping and potential fastener or fitting damage. Always power down or depressurize the relevant system before using hand tools on live piping or mechanical assemblies. Inspect the jaw serrations and pivot pin periodically for wear.
