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

Proto's J265SGXL-TT-SBD is a professional-grade 16-inch XL Series Tether-Ready Tongue and Groove Plier designed for high-elevation industrial and construction applications. This heavy-duty tool combines the massive leverage of a 16-inch frame with a specialized Flush Fastener design that reduces the tool's profile by 30%, allowing it to lay flat and maneuver in tight spaces without snagging. Weighing approximately 2.6 pounds, it features a built-in tethering point to ensure job site safety by preventing accidental drops when working on scaffolding or elevated platforms.
Key Features
Tether-Ready Safety: Features an integrated tethering point that allows the tool to be securely attached to a lanyard, meeting essential safety protocols for working at heights. Exclusive Flush Fastener: Equipped with a low-profile nut-and-bolt assembly that provides better access in restricted areas and allows the tool to be easily adjusted or serviced by the user. Massive Jaw Capacity: Engineered with a wide-opening gooseneck jaw providing a maximum capacity of 4-13/64 inches, ideal for large-diameter industrial pipes and heavy equipment. Deep Self-Gripping Teeth: The jaws are precision-milled with pipe wrench style teeth to ensure a maximum bite and superior gripping power on round, hex, or flat surfaces. Undercut Tongue and Groove: Designed with accurately machined undercut joints to ensure precision movement and exceptional joint strength even under extreme torque. Ergonomic Plastisol Grips: The red standard cushion grips offer a comfortable, non-slip surface that reduces hand fatigue while resisting common industrial oils and shop chemicals.
