9" Long Nose Locking Pliers

Palmgren locking pliers are designed for repeatable gripping force across fabrication, repair, maintenance, and assembly operations. The hardened steel construction provides durability under repeated shop use while the adjustable locking mechanism allows controlled pressure across varying material types and thicknesses.

The Palmgren 70950 9" Long Nose Locking Pliers bridge the gap between compact 6-inch long nose pliers and full-size curved jaw models. The 9-inch long nose profile provides the reach needed for deep engine bays, large electrical enclosures, and complex mechanical assemblies, while the locking mechanism ensures a secure, hands-free grip once the jaws are set.

The hex-key adjustable lead screw for controlled clamping allows operators to fine-tune jaw pressure for improved control during gripping, turning, clamping, and holding operations. Once adjusted, the locking mechanism maintains secure contact throughout demanding tasks. 

Manufactured with hardened steel components for long service life, these locking pliers are engineered to withstand repeated use in fabrication, automotive, maintenance, and general shop applications. The large-diameter rivets create a robust joint construction.

Jaw geometry is designed to improve contact across flat, curved, and irregular surfaces while maintaining controlled gripping pressure. This helps reduce slipping during high-torque operations.

9-Inch Long Nose Profile
The extended nose reaches deep into engine compartments, electrical panels, plumbing assemblies, and other challenging access points. The tapered tip allows precise placement on small components even at depth.

Locking Jaw Mechanism
Set the jaw opening with the screw adjustment, lock it in place, and the 70950 holds independently. This hands-free capability is invaluable in complex assemblies where both hands need to be free.

Hardened Steel Jaws
The jaws are manufactured from hardened steel to maintain edge sharpness and grip performance through years of professional use.

Precision Screw Adjustment
The screw adjustment provides fine control over jaw opening, allowing you to match the grip precisely to the workpiece. This reduces the risk of slipping or damaging delicate components.

Versatile Professional Tool
The 70950 is equally at home in an automotive shop, an electrical panel room, a plumbing installation, or a general maintenance facility.

Q: How much farther can the 9" long nose reach compared to the 6" model?
A: The 9" model reaches approximately 2-3/4 inches into recessed areas compared to about 2 inches for the 6" model, providing significantly better access to deeply nested fasteners.

Q: Is the 9" long nose suitable for automotive repair?
A: Yes. The extended reach makes it ideal for reaching into tight engine compartments, around suspension components, and other hard-to-access areas.

Q: Can I use this for electrical work in conduit and junction boxes?
A: Absolutely. The long nose design is perfect for pulling wires, positioning connectors, and working in confined electrical spaces.

Q: What's the maximum jaw opening?
A: The maximum jaw opening is 2-3/4 inches, allowing you to work with parts up to 9 inches between the jaws.

Q: How does pressure adjust on the 9" model?
A: Use the screw-adjust mechanism to set jaw opening, then turn to create clamping force. The longer reach gives you excellent leverage for substantial holding power.
