Tongue & Groove Pliers · 9-1/2 in (241 mm) · Smart-Grip Handle · IDEAL 35-3420
What this product is for
The IDEAL 35-3420 is a 9-1/2 in (241 mm) tongue and groove plier for electricians, maintenance crews and contractors who need adjustable gripping force for conduit, locknuts, fittings, pipe and general fastening work.
Use for
Use for gripping round or irregular shapes, tightening or loosening threaded fittings, holding locknuts, and general service work where an adjustable jaw is more practical than a fixed-size wrench.
Avoid for
Avoid using these pliers on energized conductors or where insulated hand tools are required. They are also not the right choice where a torque-specific fastener must be tightened to an exact value.
Best for
Best for service bags, electrical rough-in, panel changeovers, conduit-related work and general maintenance where one adjustable plier can cover multiple fitting sizes. A 2 in jaw opening is typically useful when moving between small hardware and larger conduit or pipe fittings on the same call.
Installed in
Commonly used on residential, commercial and light industrial job sites, in service vehicles, maintenance departments and contractor tool kits.
Why this product exists
This plier gives the user a wider gripping range than standard fixed-jaw pliers while keeping a compact 9-1/2 in size. The Smart-Grip handle is intended to improve hand comfort and control during repeated gripping and adjustment tasks.
Compared with similar products
Compared with smaller tongue and groove pliers, this 9-1/2 in size offers more leverage and a wider jaw capacity. Compared with larger models, it is easier to carry in a pouch or service bag while still covering many everyday electrical and mechanical gripping jobs.
