Pro-Tip: To get the most "bite" out of your PITBULL K9 pliers, ensure you adjust the jaw position so the handles are nearly parallel when gripping the fastener. This configuration provides the maximum leverage and allows the angled K9 teeth to engage with the greatest surface area, preventing slips and reducing the effort required to turn heavy-duty pipes or fittings.
