GearWrench 82174C PITBULL™ 6" Dual-Material High-Leverage Slip Joint Pliers

The GearWrench 82174C PITBULL™ 6-inch slip joint pliers grip rounded fasteners, pull cotter pins, and slice copper and steel wiring with a versatile 1.25-inch maximum jaw capacity and a 2-position adjustable pivot joint. Engineered with an aggressive cross-hatched serrated tooth pattern and an optimized high-leverage pivot point, this compact alloy steel hand tool delivers up to 35% greater mechanical gripping and cutting force than conventional slip joint pliers. Outfitted with an integrated deep shear-style wire cutter that slices through solid conductors with minimal hand strain, ergonomic molten orange dual-material comfort grips that easily wipe clean of shop grease and oil, and full ASME compliance, it equips professional automotive technicians, maintenance millwrights, and field service crews with versatile mechanical leverage.

Best Used For:

  • Automotive Under-Hood Fastener and Cotter Pin Extraction: Grasping, twisting, and pulling seized clips, rounded hex bolts, and retaining pins in confined engine bay envelopes.
  • Electrical Wire and Mechanical Cable Shearing: Cutting copper electrical wiring, steel mechanic wire, and small hardware using the integrated high-leverage shear-cut jaw base.
  • Small Plumbing Fitting and Tubing Adjustments: Clamping brass connectors, flexible hose clamps, and round metal stock securely across 2 positive-locking slip joint settings.

Key Performance & Safety Features

  • High-Leverage Pivot Joint: Relocated fulcrum point delivers up to 35% more gripping and cutting power directly to the workpiece to reduce hand fatigue.
  • Cross-Hatched Tooth Geometry: Multi-directional serrated gripping teeth bite securely into smooth, round, and deformed metal surfaces without rotational slipping.
  • Integrated Shear-Cut Wire Cutter: Deep base cutter utilizes bypass shear geometry to slice cleanly through solid and stranded wire with reduced effort.
  • 2-Position Adjustable Slip Joint: Dual-notch pivot mechanism expands jaw capacity up to 1.25 inches for versatile gripping on varied fastener profiles.
  • Dual-Material Molten Orange Grips: Ergonomic handle coating provides secure, slip-resistant grip control and wipes clean effortlessly from oil, grease, and grime.
  • Drop-Forged Alloy Steel Construction: Precision-machined alloy steel core with polished protective finish meets or exceeds rigorous ASME industrial standards.
