What are "locking pliers"?
Locking pliers are a type of pliers that can be locked into place, allowing them to firmly grip an object without continuous pressure. These pliers have an adjustable screw mechanism that tightens the jaws, locking them in position. They are commonly used for holding or clamping items securely during work, making them useful for tasks like gripping, turning, or bending materials. Locking pliers are particularly handy when a strong, steady grip is needed for a long period or when the user's hands cannot maintain pressure.
