Mole grips/locking pliers can be bought as single tools…
…Or, they can be bought in sets of between two and ten containing either the same or different types, lengths and capacities.
Multi tool sets offer the greatest choice of Mole grips/locking pliers by application. Sets that contain a variety of lengths of the same Mole grips/locking pliers give the user more choice of a tool to reach where needed.
Many users will only need one pair of Mole grips/locking pliers at a time to carry out a task, for example using large jaw Mole grips/locking pliers as a clamp.
However, there may be occasions where you need to use more than one pair – for instance, using one pair as a clamp and a second pair from the same set, to bend a section of metal. Having the tools to hand saves time and reduces frustration.
