Description
The Irwin Vise-Grip 7" Locking Pinch Off Tool (29) is an essential instrument for professionals working with plumbing and refrigeration systems. Engineered for precision and control, this specialized tool allows you to temporarily stop the flow of fluids or gases in tubing, enabling you to perform repairs and maintenance without spillage or interruption. The key to its effectiveness lies in the unique combination of round jaws and a robust locking mechanism, which pinches and seals the tubing without causing any damage. This makes it an invaluable asset for professionals who require a temporary, non-destructive solution for managing flow.
KEY FEATURES AND BENEFITS:
- Temporary Flow Control: The primary function of this tool is to pinch off tubing and halt the flow of liquids or gases, allowing you to safely perform repairs and maintenance tasks. This prevents messes and ensures a clean, controlled work environment.
- Non-Damaging Jaws: The specialized round jaws are designed to apply pressure and seal the tubing without causing any crimping or permanent damage. This preserves the integrity of the tubing, making it perfect for temporary seals.
- Locking Mechanism: The classic Vise-Grip locking mechanism holds the jaws securely in place once they have been adjusted and applied. This frees up your hands to work on other tasks without needing to maintain pressure on the tool.
- Durable Construction: Made from high-grade, heat-treated alloy steel, the tool is built for maximum toughness and long-term durability, ensuring it can withstand the rigors of professional use.
- Versatile Use: Popular in both the plumbing and refrigeration industries, this tool is ideal for a wide range of applications where a temporary, secure seal on tubing is required.
