Irwin 4935351 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What sizes do the Irwin GrooveLock V-Jaw locking pliers come in?
Two lengths: 8 inch (part number 2078108) and 6 inch (part number 4935351). The 8 inch is the general shop, plumbing, and jobsite size; the 6 inch is the choice for tighter work where you cannot swing a longer handle. Both are sold individually, not as a set.
2) Will V-jaw GrooveLock pliers grip round pipe, or do I need a straight-jaw plier?
The V-shaped jaws on the Irwin GrooveLock are made for round stock. The V profile cradles pipe and tube from two sides instead of flattening against it, and the right-angle teeth bite in all directions, so it holds on round, flat, and irregular work alike. If you are working almost entirely on flat stock or sheet, a straight or flat jaw plier gives you more jaw contact, but for pipe and fittings the V-jaw is the right pick.
3) Is this a locking plier or a groove joint plier?
Both, in one tool. The Irwin 2078108 GrooveLock uses the Vise-Grip locking mechanism so the jaws clamp and stay clamped hands-free, combined with a groove joint that slides to set jaw opening. That means you can walk away from a clamped joint, which a plain tongue-and-groove plier will not do.
4) Are the handles insulated for live electrical work?
No. The ProTouchGrips handles on the GrooveLock are anti-pinch, non-slip comfort grips that cut hand fatigue, not insulating sleeves. They are not a substitute for VDE or 1000V rated insulated pliers. Treat this as a mechanical gripping tool and de-energize before you work.
5) How fast is the jaw adjustment on the Irwin GrooveLock compared with standard tongue-and-groove pliers?
The press-n-slide button repositions the lower jaw twice as fast as a traditional groove joint plier, and the Multi-Groove Ratcheting System gives twice the groove positions of a standard groove joint plier. Practically, that means you push one button, slide to the size, and release, rather than rocking the plier open to find the next notch, and you get finer steps between settings.
6) Can one tech keep a pipe joint clamped and still have both hands free?
Yes, and that is the main reason to carry this over a plain water pump plier. Because the GrooveLock locks like a Vise-Grip, you can set the jaws on a fitting, lock it, and let go to thread, solder, or wrench with both hands. The anti-pinch grips also keep the handles from catching skin when the tool closes.
7) What is the jaw and joint made of on the Irwin GrooveLock pliers?
The precision components are produced by Metal Injection Molding (MIM), which Irwin uses to get the tight tolerances in the ratcheting joint and the formed teeth. That matters on a locking plier, because slop in the joint is what lets a clamped jaw walk off the work.
8) Does the Irwin 2078108 need batteries or air?
No. It is a manually operated, non-powered hand tool, listed as non-energy using. Nothing to charge, nothing to plumb to an air line.
