Sunex Tools 7" Push Button Tongue & Groove Pliers (SXTG7)

Sunex Tools 7" Push Button Tongue & Groove Pliers (SXTG7) is designed for professionals requiring a reliable and stable gripping solution for mechanical and industrial tasks. Unlike standard slip-joint pliers that can lose their position under heavy load, the SXTG7 utilizes a modern push-button locking mechanism, allowing users to set and lock a precise jaw width, ensuring secure engagement with the workpiece.

Key Features and Benefits:

• Push-Button Adjustment: The central locking button allows for rapid resizing, ensuring the jaws stay at the selected width and eliminating accidental slipping.
• Induction Hardened Teeth: The specially treated gripping surfaces maintain sharpness and bite, providing a firm hold on hardened steel pipes and fasteners.
• Ergonomic Dipped Handles: Double-dipped red handles offer a comfortable, non-slip surface that enhances user control and reduces strain during repetitive gripping.
• Chrome Vanadium Construction: Cr-V steel provides a high strength-to-weight ratio and resistance to common shop chemicals and oxidation.
• Slim Profile Design: The narrow head and joint thickness allow the pliers to access tight gaps where traditional pliers would be obstructed.
