Stanley 84-097 Slip Joint Pliers 6.75 in 2-position

Product Description

The STANLEY 84-097 is a slip joint plier designed for gripping, bending, and turning tasks common to plumbing, HVAC, and general mechanical service work. It measures 6.75 inches overall length with a 1.4375-inch jaw length, giving technicians a compact, maneuverable tool suited for tight spaces. The serrated pipe jaw provides positive grip on round pipe, fittings, and fasteners. A two-position slip joint head allows the tech to shift jaw capacity depending on workpiece diameter. Dual-dipped handles offer improved grip and reduce hand fatigue during extended use. This is a hand tool staple carried by plumbers, pipefitters, HVAC techs, and general service trades.

The STANLEY 84-097 is suited for residential and light commercial service applications where a compact, versatile gripping tool is needed. Typical uses include gripping and turning pipe, nuts, and fittings during plumbing rough-in or service calls, adjusting components during HVAC installation and maintenance, and general mechanical tasks across multiple trade disciplines. The two-position jaw adjustment extends the range of workpiece sizes this tool can handle without switching tools.

Installation Notes

No installation is required for hand tools. Before using on plumbing or gas line fittings, shut off the appropriate water or gas supply at the service valve. Use care to avoid over-tightening soft fittings or plastic components with serrated jaw pliers, as jaw serrations can mar or deform surfaces. Technicians should follow applicable trade codes and manufacturer torque recommendations when tightening threaded fittings.
