The Steelman 99593 15" 90-Degree XL Bent Nose Locking Plier is engineered to provide professional technicians with superior access and secure clamping in challenging and restricted environments. This specialized tool features an extra-long body and a precise 90-degree bent nose jaw, delivering controlled gripping power deep within crowded engine bays, machinery housings, and other confined spaces, making these bent nose locking pliers an essential addition to any professional toolkit.

Key Features

• Extended 15" Reach: Designed to access fasteners, clamps, and components buried in tight spaces, significantly reducing the need for excessive disassembly, particularly in transverse engines and compact engine compartments.
• 90-Degree Bent Nose Jaw: The angled head allows technicians to work effectively around obstructions like hoses, wiring looms, brackets, and frame members while maintaining a secure, vise-like hold. This specialized design makes these bent nose locking pliers invaluable for intricate work.
• Durable Carbon Steel Construction: Crafted from hardened carbon steel and finished with a nickel plating, ensuring reliable strength and resistance to rust and corrosion in demanding professional shop environments.
• Adjustable Locking Grip: A turn-screw adjustment mechanism allows precise setting of clamping force and jaw opening up to 1-3/8", providing a consistent hold on a diverse range of materials, from small fittings to larger brackets.
• One-Handed Operation: Featuring a traditional locking plier release and ergonomic handle profile, this tool enables controlled, single-handed use, helping to minimize fatigue during extended tasks.

Applications

• Automotive Service: Ideal for reaching hose clamps, exhaust and turbo hardware, electrical connectors, and brackets within tight engine bays across domestic, Asian, and European vehicles, including modern FWD and compact platforms.
• Industrial and Plant Maintenance: Effectively clamps components in confined housings and around guarding where straight-jaw tools cannot provide adequate access.
• Welding and Fabrication: Facilitates holding small workpieces, tabs, and fittings at awkward angles for precise tacking, welding, or brazing operations.
• Plumbing and HVAC: Grips pipes, fittings, and valves securely in recessed or obstructed locations.
