Varieties of Slip Joint Pliers

There are many different varieties of slip joint pliers, including straight slip joint pliers, tongue-and-groove pliers and lineman's pliers.


Straight slip joint pliers
Straight slip joint pliers are configured similarly to common or lineman's pliers in that their jaws are in line with their handles. One side of the pliers usually has two holes that are connected by a slot for the pivot. The pivot is fastened to the other side and shaped such that it can slide through the slot when the pliers are fully opened.


Tongue-and-groove pliers
Tongue-and-groove pliers have their jaws offset from their handles and have several positions at which the lower jaw can be positioned.

 

What Are Some Repairs That Require Slip-Joint Pliers?

 

 

Slip-joint pliers are versatile tools that are used for gripping and bending hardware. They have two levels of teeth; the fine teeth located near the front are designed for gripping small objects and nails, while the coarse teeth located toward the back are designed for gripping bulky nuts and bolts. The advantage of the slip-joint pliers is that it has a pivot that can adjust its jaw size, allowing you to work with objects of varying sizes. A slot in the neck allows the pivot to slide between the two positions.

 

Slip-joint pliers are useful for a variety of household repairs such as replacing a sink drain basket, repairing a kitchen faucet, doing auto repairs and installing hoses. You can use them to hold a nut steady while loosening a screw with a screwdriver, to bend or straighten a small nail, to cut a thin wire or to compress a light clamp. In addition, slip-joint pliers can be used for grasping tools like screwdriver handles or chisels. They are even advertised as a necessary piece of medical equipment for handling wires, pins and rods.

 

Never use slip-joint pliers as a hammer since they may crack or break. In addition, they shouldn't be exposed to excessive heat since the heat might ruin the material in the tool. Some slip-joint pliers have comfort grips; however, you should be aware that these grips do not necessarily protect against electric current. One drawback to slip-joint pliers is that they shouldn't be used for anything that has to be held really tight, as they sometimes slips out of place.

 

When purchasing a pair of slip-joint pliers, choose a long-lasting, quality material. Check that the surfaces are even and that the teeth are sharp. Dull teeth may cause the pliers to slip, which can lead to injury. In addition, make sure the handles open smoothly and don't wobble at the pivot.

 

 

Slip Joint Pliers – Obsolete Relic, or Still Practical?

They can open a little bit, or very wide, and often have multiple gripping zones with different jaw shapes and groove patterns. This means they can grip a wide range of materials.

I don't really use slip joint pliers for turning anything, maybe only sometimes. These pliers are often short, and so you can't get a lot of leverage or a lot of torque out of them, compared to combination pliers, lineman's pliers, and other pliers styles. I much more often use them to hold something steady, or for pulling tasks.

That they're often short also makes them compact and portable. I'd rather pack slip joint pliers in a portable tool kit than lineman's pliers or other larger and bulkier pliers, at least if I don't have any specific tasks or applications in mind for the kit.

They are just as good at gripping medium diameter materials and non-uniform materials. Shift the pivot over and it's like you've got whole new pliers that are much wider.

I'm not saying that slip joint pliers are going to be the crown jewel of your pliers section of your toolbox or bag. But they're pretty useful. Some people point out the age of slip joint pliers, and how the same general design has been around for many decades. Who says that's a bad thing?

Does their functionality and their capabilities overlap with other pliers styles and designs? Of course. The same is also true for many other types of pliers, cutters, and hand tools in general.

There are so many pliers that I like more than any of the slip joint pliers I've come across. But when it comes to replacing the pliers in my seldom-used travel tool kit, or adding one to the kitchen junk drawer, I'll sooner throw in slip joint pliers than anything more premium.

What to Consider When Choosing the Best Slip Joint Pliers

 

It's important to know more than just the type of slip joint pliers before tossing a pair into the shopping cart. Keep the following considerations in mind when comparing models in order to make the right choice for the job. 

 

Size
Many slip joint pliers, depending on the type, come in different sizes. Smaller sizes are excellent for storing in a back pocket or tool box, while other, larger slip joint pliers might be necessary for obtaining enough leverage to get the job done.
Generally speaking, slip joint pliers in the 8- to 12-inch range are the most useful. Smaller slip joint pliers (under 8 inches) are good for delicate work, but they lack the grip and jaw capacity for a heavy-duty project. Large slip joint pliers are great for heavy-duty work, but they can easily damage light-duty materials. Whenever possible, a tool box should contain sets of slip joint pliers in each size.

 

Adjustable vs. Nonadjustable
Different job requirements call for different slip joint pliers: Adjustable or nonadjustable. Adjustable slip joint pliers allow the user to tailor the jaw size to the task at hand, which is good for gripping and turning objects. For instance, some slip joint pliers might be able to adjust up to 3 or 4 inches, so they can grip small objects as well as large pipes.

 

Head and handle material
The best slip joint pliers come in just a few materials. While "tool steel" is generally acceptable, today's best slip joint pliers have more to offer than a rust-prone metal that will become hard to use. The most popular metal options today are alloys, which are combinations of metals. Vanadium, chromium, and nickel-chrome steel are tough, strong, and rust-resistant, and they're typically the most common.
Handles are equally as important. Many slip joint pliers feature coated handles for grip as well as fatigue reduction. These grips are typically rubber, vinyl, polyurethane, or a combination of materials. They offer grip and shock absorption, making them ideal for heavy-duty work.

 

Comfort and ease of use
The job at hand will determine which models are the most comfortable and easiest to use. Tongue-and-groove or pump slip joint pliers are almost always the most comfortable to use for turning pipes or fasteners. And with several jaw adjustments available from one set of slip joint pliers, the user needn't carry a large set of wrenches or several sets of slip joint pliers.

 

Versatility
Specialty slip joint pliers are great, but many slip joint pliers provide the value of versatility. For instance, pump slip joint pliers excel at just about everything (other than dealing with small parts). Likewise, a pair of linesman's slip joint pliers can cut, twist, and hammer, making them more versatile than a pair of needle-nose slip joint pliers. Conversely, cutting slip joint pliers might be great at slicing things apart, but they're near useless for gripping fasteners.

 

Safety Measures When Using Slip Joint Pliers

 

 

Check slip joint pliers wire cutting capacities and capabilities before selecting a particular model for the job; failing to do so can result in premature wearing of the cutting jaws, and the inability to perform the task. Choose the appropriate slip joint pliers for the application. Take the time to educate yourself on the different slip joint pliers and their features, such as the types of wires a plier is able to cut, cutting capacity, etc. Failing to do so can result in premature wearing of the tool, inability to perform the job, jaw damage, and even personal injury.

 

Slip joint pliers with insulated handles should always be used when working near live wires. Non - insulated handles can easily be confused with insulated ones. Use the appropriate size slip joint pliers for your hand and personal comfort. Using smaller slip joint pliers can result in pinched hands and fingers, while a size too big can lead to the tool being dropped or an inability to operate it efficiently. Always cut at right angles for a clean, effective cut. Avoid bending the wire back and forth; instead, use a bigger size or a model with a bigger cutting capacity. Wear safety glasses when you operate slip joint pliers as pieces of material fly unexpectedly.

 

Do not expose slip joint pliers to excessive heat, as the tool's properties might change. Do not use slip joint pliers as a hammer or hammer on the slip joint pliers handles to cut thicker bolts or wires. Do not use slip joint pliers for tightening or breaking nuts loose; use a wrench instead to avoid damage to the nut.


Clean and maintain your slip joint pliers regularly; cleaning the jaws and adding a drop of oil on the rivet will ensure years of dependable use. Always inspect the condition of the plier before using; always use tools that are in safe working order. If the plier is damaged, stop using it and invest in a new set of slip joint pliers.
