These dual-purpose pliers from Klein Tools work like both an adjustable pipe wrench and large-capacity pliers. The Plier Wrench has a two-in-one set of jaws that functions as a wrench on flat-sided fasteners and as a V-jaw pliers for pipe, hex bolts, conduit, and other round objects.
The wrench opens to 2 in. wide with 20 adjustment points for customized sizing with the smooth parallel jaws found in traditional plier wrenches. But when extra bite is needed, the tool offers the added versatility of knurled teeth on a second set of jaws.
To use, press the silver adjusting button on the side to fully extend the jaw position. Open the handles to their furthest open position. This enables you to pivot the bottom jaw piece out of the channel, reverse it, and insert it back into place. Press the adjusting button again and adjust the jaw to the desired position. This adjustment process can be performed with one hand, allowing quick swaps in confined spaces. Likewise, the high lever ratio provides a firm grip for holding or bending on the job.
The tool itself is forged with US-made tool steel. Though it’s designed for rugged use, Klein Tools sells a replacement jaw if it’s ever needed.
Klein Tools are sold through the company website and by over 75 retailers. Prices vary by retailer, but the 10-in. Plier Wrench retails for about $50.
