Pro-Tip: When working with large-diameter pipes or stubborn fasteners, adjust the jaw position so that the handle opening is roughly the width of your hand when the teeth are seated. This ensures you can apply maximum squeezing pressure at the strongest point of your grip, preventing hand fatigue and slippage.
