Product ID 71060 Product Name 10" 4-Point Curved Jaw Locking Plier UPC 726896710600 GTIN 10726896710607 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. Four-Point Contact for a Grip That Won't Let Go The Palmgren 71060 redefines gripping performance with its innovative 4-point curved jaw design. Unlike traditional two-point locking pliers that can slip on rounded or worn fasteners, the 71060 applies force at four contact points simultaneously, distributing the load and biting deeper into the surface for a grip that holds even under extreme torque. Precision Locking Mechanism The adjustable lead screw design with a 1/4" hex key drive 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. 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 4-Point Curved Jaw Design The hallmark feature of the 71060 is its four-point jaw geometry. Where standard pliers contact a fastener at two points, the 71060's jaw contacts at four, dramatically increasing grip security on round stock, hex bolts, square fittings, and irregular shapes. This design also significantly reduces the risk of rounding fasteners during removal. 10-Inch Overall Length The 10-inch length provides excellent leverage for loosening stuck fasteners, gripping heavy pipe, and performing high-torque tasks where shorter pliers fall short. Precision Screw Adjustment Set the jaw opening to your exact workpiece size with the adjustment screw. The locking mechanism snaps shut and holds with consistent pressure, allowing two-hand working without manual grip pressure. Integrated Wire Cutter A built-in wire cutter in the jaw area adds utility for cutting wire, small cable, and other materials — making the 71060 a true multi-function tool. Hardened Steel Jaws The jaws are hardened for long-lasting edge retention, maintaining their gripping performance through thousands of uses. Common Applications Removing rounded or damaged bolt heads and nuts Gripping round pipe and conduit Holding hex fittings and square stock Automotive repair and mechanical work Plumbing and HVAC installations Fabrication and welding support Automotive repair and maintenance Equipment service operations Gripping and turning irregular materials Assembly and positioning work 4-Point vs. Standard Curved Jaw: Why It Matters Standard curved jaw locking pliers make contact at two points on a fastener. On new, sharp fasteners this works well. On worn or rounded fasteners — or on round stock — two-point contact often slips. The 71060's four-point design maintains bite on difficult surfaces that defeat standard pliers, reducing frustration and protecting the workpiece.
