Buy the GEARWRENCH 82173C 12" PITBULL K9 V-Jaw Dual Material Tongue and Groove Pliers online for $14.92 — a $14.91 discount off the $29.83 compare-at price. They're the top pick for industrial and automotive technicians who need a locking grip on round, flat, or angled surfaces.
PITBULL K9 vs. Channellock: Which Is Better?
Channellock pioneered tongue and groove pliers, but the PITBULL K9 jaws hold grip even at a 35° angle thanks to aggressive angled teeth, and the V-jaw design self-locks on round stock like pipe and fittings. Add the Pinch-Stop guard that Channellock lacks, and the 82173C wins on comfort and control at half the typical price.

- Any job needing adjustable jaw width and high leverage

Materials and Build
Forged alloy steel, precision machined for long life and durability — the most advanced plier line GEARWRENCH builds.
K9 Jaws vs. Straight Jaw Pliers
Straight jaws can slip on angled or round surfaces. K9 jaws maintain bite even at 35° angles, and V-jaws cradle round work for a self-locking hold — more grip security per squeeze.
