Vise-Grip Locking Sheet Metal Pliers

The IRWIN Vise-Grip locking sheet metal pliers are specialist locking pliers designed for professional bending, forming and crimping operations on sheet metal. Built to the robust standards expected from the Vise-Grip range, these 200mm pliers provide controlled grip and precise manipulation for metalworking tasks. The hex key adjusting screw is a key feature, allowing the user to tighten the tool to draw materials closer together during forming operations. This adjustment mechanism also provides controlled release, giving the operator full command over clamping pressure throughout the work process. The 78mm capacity makes these pliers suitable for a range of sheet metal thicknesses commonly encountered in HVAC installation, fabrication work and general sheet metal manipulation. Ideal for heating engineers, metalworkers and contractors working with ducting, flashing or sheet metal components, these locking pliers eliminate the need to maintain constant grip pressure manually. The locking mechanism frees up both hands for positioning material or operating additional tools, improving efficiency and reducing fatigue during repetitive bending and forming tasks.
