10-Inch Groove Joint Pliers
The Craftsman CMHT81720 is a 10-inch groove joint plier built for holding, twisting, cutting and gripping tasks. Its drop-forged steel construction and corrosion-resistant finish suit professional tradespeople and DIY users who need a durable hand tool for general fastening and pipe work.
Installation and Common Issues
No installation is required; the tool is ready to use straight from the package. The single-position jaw sets a fixed 1-inch capacity, so workpieces larger than that cannot be accommodated. Users should verify the jaw width matches the fastener or pipe before applying force to avoid slippage.
Capacity and Limits
The 1-inch jaw capacity comfortably handles medium-sized nuts, bolts and pipes within that range. Precision-machined jaws provide secure grip on flat and rounded surfaces. The tool runs out of reach on larger diameter fittings or when multiple jaw positions are needed for finer adjustment.

Questions about this item
How do I confirm the multi-zone bi-material grips are providing comfort and control during use?
The pliers should feel secure in hand without slipping, and the forged steel jaws must grip, twist, hold and cut cleanly through the full 1 inch jaw capacity.
What comes in the box and is anything else required to start working?
The package contains one 10 inch groove joint plier with alloy steel handles; no additional tools or accessories are needed for holding, twisting, cutting or gripping tasks.
Which version of the CMHT81720 should I choose for a 1 inch maximum jaw opening?
This single model offers a 10 inch handle length, 1 inch jaw capacity and drop forged steel construction, so it covers the stated capacity without further options.
