Usage Tips

1. Adjust Properly – Turn the screw to set the desired clamping force before locking.

2. Avoid Over-Tightening – Excessive force can damage the workpiece or the tool.

3. Use for Gripping, Not Turning – While useful for holding, it’s not a replacement for a wrench.

4. Maintain the Tool – Keep the jaws clean and lightly oiled to prevent rust.

5. Safety First – Wear gloves when working with sharp or hot materials.
