Clarke PRO176 'J' Tip Locking Welding Pliers

The 'J' shaped jaws arms on these incredibly useful pliers ensure that shaped steel etc that's to be welded, is held securely in place; the  'J' shaped jaw profile allows two sections or awkward shaped pieces of material to be held firmly in place to enable an accurate and clean weld. In other words the straight line motion of jaws allows perpendicular clamping of workpiece for easy access into confined spaces.
