Fitting Plier with Smooth Jaws, 310mm, Ratchet Adjustment

Overview

This 310mm fitting plier is engineered for precision work on finished surfaces where traditional wrenches risk marring. The smooth jaw design eliminates surface damage while the innovative ratchet mechanism provides stepless grip adjustment—a critical advantage over fixed-width tools. Whether you're working with metric or inch fittings, this plier replaces multiple wrenches in your shop, reducing tool inventory and accelerating jobsite transitions. If you require extended reach, the larger 410mm ratchet-adjustable fitting plier offers comparable functionality for bigger workpieces.

Key Features

• Smooth Jaw Design: Polished, non-marring contact surfaces protect chrome, nickel, and painted finishes on premium fittings
• Stepless Ratchet Adjustment: Infinitely variable jaw opening within the specified range—no fixed positions, no fumbling
• Locking System: Integrated pawl prevents unintentional adjustment slip during heavy clamping
• Dual Metric/Inch Compatibility: Single tool handles both measurement systems, eliminating the need for wrench sets
• Ergonomic Blue-Dipped Handles: Comfortable grip reduces hand fatigue on extended jobs
• Machined Steel Construction: Black-coated body resists corrosion; serrated inner jaw surfaces provide secure hold on working faces

Why Resellers Choose This Tool

Inventory Efficiency: One plier replaces 8–12 fixed wrenches (metric and inch sets). Stock fewer SKUs, free up shelf space, maintain higher margins on fewer part numbers.

Professional Grade Appeal: Smooth jaw design commands a premium price point compared to standard slip-joint pliers. Attracts shops that service luxury vehicles, precision equipment, and specialty fittings.

Upsell Potential: Pair with specialty locking pliers with wire cutters for comprehensive gripping solutions. Create a "fitting specialist" bundle for mechanics and hydraulic technicians.

Durability = Repeat Orders: Ratchet mechanism and locking system reduce wear compared to friction-slip designs. Customers keep these tools longer but will repurchase once lost or damaged.
