Sheet Metal Locking Pliers

Sheet metal locking pliers, also known as sheet metal locking clamps or simply locking pliers, are hand tools designed for gripping, holding, and clamping sheet metal or other thin materials securely. These pliers typically have a unique locking mechanism that allows them to maintain a constant grip force without the need for continuous manual pressure. The jaws of the pliers are serrated or grooved to provide a strong and secure hold on the sheet metal, preventing slipping or movement during various tasks such as welding, bending, cutting, or fabrication. The locking feature enables the user to lock the pliers onto the material with a specific clamping force, freeing up their hands for other tasks. Sheet metal locking pliers are widely used in metalworking, automotive, construction, and other industries where precise and secure gripping of thin materials is essential.
