What are mole grips?

Mole grips, also known as locking pliers, are a type of adjustable pliers that can lock onto objects to provide a strong grip. They feature a pivoting handle that allows the user to adjust the jaw width and a locking mechanism to secure the grip, making them useful for holding, twisting, or turning various materials. Commonly used in automotive and mechanical applications, mole grips are versatile tools for both professionals and DIY enthusiasts. Their design allows for hands-free operation, enhancing efficiency in tasks that require a steady hold.
