The Beta 1048N slip joint pliers are made with industrial grade chrome-vanadium steel for increased strength and durability. The handles have a wider angle for a comfortable hold and are coated with slip-proof PVC for a secure grip. The 6-inch slip joint pliers have a maximum jaw capacity of 36mm, a 11mm jaw width, and a 31mm jaw length. These pliers have a tapered head which allows for increased precision and easier access to tight spaces, while the triangular section grip creates a more comfortable contact surface.
