The 7-inch Locking Pinch-off Tool is an essential professional hand tool for refrigeration technicians and HVAC specialists. This multifunction plier features a curved jaw design specifically engineered for capillary brass and aluminum tube applications in refrigeration systems.
With its nickel surface treatment, this durable tool offers exceptional wear resistance for long-term professional use. The pinch-off mechanism allows technicians to effectively seal tubing to isolate equipment components, making it particularly valuable in emergency leak situations where immediate fluid stoppage is required.
The innovative locking mechanism enables hands-free operation once the tool is engaged, allowing technicians to perform other tasks simultaneously. The classic trigger release design provides maximum locking force, while the adjustable pressure screw ensures precise operation that maintains its setting for repetitive use.
Constructed from high-grade, heat-treated alloy steel, this pinch-off plier delivers maximum toughness and durability in demanding work environments. The tool features a 1/4-inch jaw capacity, making it suitable for a wide range of standard refrigeration and HVAC tubing applications.
Additional features include a half-box joint structure for enhanced strength, straight shaft style for comfortable operation, and pure handle color for professional appearance. The tool's multifunctional design combines cutting and pinching capabilities in one efficient package.
