Kennedy KEN5588960K Soft-Touch Slip Joint Engineer's Pliers

The Kennedy KEN5588960K is a specialized 165mm (6-1/2") soft-touch engineer's slip-joint plier designed specifically for handling delicate, polished, or soft metal components without scratching, scoring, or marring the finish. Built with a hardened alloy steel body and fitted with replaceable soft nylon jaw inserts, it delivers a secure grip without direct steel-to-metal contact.

Featuring a adjustable dual-position slip joint, these pliers accommodate a wide range of workpiece diameters up to a 50mm maximum jaw capacity. The hybrid jaw design features serrated parallel sections for gripping flat stock alongside a curved section for holding pipes, fittings, and threaded fasteners. Bonded vinyl-dip handles provide a comfortable, non-slip grip for precision assembly, sanitary pipework, automotive detailing, and electronic instrument repairs.
