Proto XL Series Groove Joint Pliers W/ Grip - 16" J265SGXL-SBD

Proto's J265SGXL-SBD is a professional-grade 16-inch XL Series Gooseneck Tongue and Groove Plier engineered by Stanley Black & Decker for maximum leverage and access in heavy-duty industrial environments. This specialized tool features Proto’s exclusive Flush Fastener design, which makes the tool profile 30% narrower than standard pliers, allowing it to lay flat in your workspace and preventing it from snagging on tool belts or pouches. With a product weight of approximately 2.6 pounds, it provides the massive scale and mechanical advantage required for the most demanding mechanical and plumbing tasks.

Key Features
Exclusive Flush Fastener: Equipped with a low-profile nut-and-bolt assembly that provides better access in tight spots and allows the tool to be easily adjusted by the end user in the field.
Deep Self-Gripping Teeth: The jaws are precision-milled with pipe wrench style teeth that provide a maximum bite and superior gripping power on round, hex, or flat surfaces.
Large Capacity XL Series: Features an expansive maximum jaw opening of 4-13/64 inches, making it suitable for large-diameter industrial pipes and heavy equipment maintenance.
Undercut Tongue and Groove: Engineered with accurately machined undercut points to ensure precision movement and exceptional joint strength even under extreme torque.
Plastisol-Dipped Grips: The red standard cushion grips offer a comfortable, non-slip surface that reduces hand fatigue while resisting common industrial oils and chemicals.
Professional Standards: Forged from high-strength alloy steel with a polished finish and built to meet or exceed ASME B107.23 performance standards for long-term industrial use.
