10" Straight Jaw Locking Pliers
71000
Product ID 71000 Product Name 10" Straight Jaw Locking Pliers UPC 726896710006 GTIN 10726896710003 Product Copy Engineered for Controlled Gripping Performance Palmgren locking pliers are designed for repeatable gripping force across fabrication, repair, maintenance, and assembly operations. The hardened steel construction provides durability under repeated shop use while the adjustable locking mechanism allows controlled pressure across varying material types and thicknesses. Maximum Leverage and Flat-Surface Grip for Heavy-Duty Work When a job demands both the flat, even grip of a straight jaw and the high leverage of a full 10-inch tool, the Palmgren 71000 is the answer. This is the largest straight jaw locking plier in the Palmgren lineup, delivering maximum clamping force on flat stock, square sections, flanges, and parallel surfaces in automotive, fabrication, and industrial applications. Precision Locking Mechanism The adjustable lead screw design comes with a 1/4" hex key drive which allows operators to fine-tune jaw pressure for improved control during gripping, turning, clamping, and holding operations. Once adjusted, the locking mechanism maintains secure contact throughout demanding tasks. Built for Industrial Shop Environments Manufactured with hardened steel components for long service life, these locking pliers are engineered to withstand repeated use in fabrication, automotive, maintenance, and general shop applications. Large diameter rivets provide secure joints delivering durable and robust pliers. Improved Grip and Control Jaw geometry is designed to improve contact across flat, curved, and irregular surfaces while maintaining controlled gripping pressure. This helps reduce slipping during high-torque operations. Key Benefits 10-Inch Length for Maximum Leverage The 10-inch overall length gives you the mechanical advantage needed for high-torque tasks: breaking loose stuck flat-sided fasteners, holding heavy stock during welding, and gripping large flat components that smaller pliers cannot manage effectively. Straight Jaw for Flat Surface Grip The straight jaw contacts flat surfaces across the full jaw width, delivering even clamping pressure that eliminates the stress concentration points created by curved jaws on flat stock. This protects workpiece surfaces and provides a more stable grip. Precision Screw Jaw Adjustment The screw adjustment lets you set the exact jaw opening required for your workpiece. Once set, the adjustment holds consistently from use to use, reducing setup time on repetitive heavy tasks. Locking Mechanism The powerful locking mechanism holds the jaws firmly at the set opening, providing hands-free clamping force that withstands the stress of heavy welding, grinding, and assembly work. Integrated Wire Cutter A built-in wire cutter adds versatility for cutting wire and cable without reaching for a separate tool. Hardened Steel Construction The 71000 is built from hardened steel throughout, handling the mechanical stress, heat exposure, and abrasion of demanding professional environments. Common Applications Heavy flat stock and bar work in fabrication Automotive frame and body panel clamping Industrial maintenance and heavy equipment repair Structural steel assembly and welding Gripping large flat-sided fasteners and flanges Fabrication and welding support Automotive repair and maintenance Equipment service operations Gripping and turning irregular materials Assembly and positioning work 10-Inch Straight Jaw vs. 7-Inch Straight Jaw The 70700 7-inch straight jaw is the right choice for most everyday tasks. When you need additional leverage for heavy-duty work or when the workpiece is simply too large for a 7-inch tool, the 71000 provides the extra reach and mechanical advantage that heavy professional applications demand. Product Features 10" overall length for substantial leverage. Straight jaw profile for parallel surfaces and flat stock. Rugged teeth profile. Screw-adjust jaw opening for precise fit. Drop-forged, hardened jaw construction. Durable nickel plate finish. Spring-loaded release lever for fast unlocking. Locking nut holds adjustment during repetitive jobs. Lifetime warranty.
