Pliers/Wrench Hybrid

July 19, 2006
Bionic Grip 8-in. hand tool combines features of both an adjustable open-end wrench and pliers. It fits pipe and tube from 1/2 to 13/16 in. and fasteners from 1/2 to 3/4 in. and 13 to 20 mm. Features include four serrated jaw surfaces that distribute force evenly, making it less likely to distort soft materials. Other features include a jaw mechanism that stays locked under load but disengages easily when force is removed.
