🛠️ Long Description

The Blue‑Point VGP12808 is a purpose-built sheet metal locking plier, tailored for professionals working in metal fabrication, automotive, HVAC, and industrial trades. With wide, flat jaws, it lets you clamp and manipulate sheet metal—bending, forming, crimping, or holding—without relying on high grip pressure. The design reduces user fatigue and maximizes safety and comfort.

Built from cold-rolled steel for enhanced toughness, this tool resists deformation even under heavy use. The protective E-coat finish offers excellent resistance against corrosion and welding spatter—ideal for workshop conditions where exposure to heat and moisture is frequent

Additional design features include:

• Drop-forged jaws with smooth, rounded edges for user comfort and safety.

• Spring‑loaded “no pinch” release lever for easy unlocking even when the tool is fully locked.

• Deep-knurled adjustment bolt for easy jaw fine-tuning, even with greasy gloves.

• Robust locking nut design that enables setting the tool at a fixed opening—useful for repetitive operations.

• Drilled mobile jaw pivot holes with large rivets ensure smooth jaw action and build strength over time

Typical specs:

• Length: 8 in (203.2 mm)

• Max jaw capacity: ~1 ¾ in (≈44 mm)

• Country of Origin: China (manufactured under Blue‑Point/Snap‑On brand)
