With the caps removed, it works as a standard combination plier, so one tool covers both delicate and everyday gripping.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe clear resin caps attach and detach by hand with no tools, and a spare set is included in the box. A three-position adjustable joint opens to 1.18\" (30 mm) and grips pipe from Ø0.14\" to Ø1.18\" (3.5–30 mm), an opening IPS rates about 30% wider than its previous Soft Touch model. A built-in spring opens the jaws automatically between grips for faster repetitive work, and setting the joint in the center hole disengages the spring when you don't need it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTrigger-style handles with a PVC coating give a comfortable, controlled grip, and the black cationic electrodeposition coating is rated by IPS at roughly 10 times the rust resistance of nickel-chrome plating.
