FAQs

Questions Plumbers Actually Ask

Will these mark chrome fittings?

The smooth parallel jaws are designed to help reduce marking compared with standard toothed grips. For delicate or polished finishes, proper jaw pressure and technique still matter. Humans remain capable of damaging almost anything with enough confidence.

Are these better than a normal adjustable shifter?

Yes. Parallel jaws apply more even pressure across flat-sided fittings, helping reduce slipping, rounding and chewed-up chrome compared with standard adjustable shifters.

What size should I choose?

180mm Compact is best for tight access and service bags.

250mm Trade is the everyday all-rounder.

300mm Heavy Duty gives you more reach and leverage for larger fittings.

Can I use these on tapware and mixers?

Yes. They’re ideal for tapware, mixers, compression fittings, isolation valves and other finished plumbing hardware.

Do the jaws stay parallel under pressure?

Yes. The parallel jaw design keeps even contact across the fitting to help improve grip and control during adjustment.

Are they good for tight spaces?

Yes. The slim jaw profile makes them ideal for under sinks, behind vanities and cramped plumbing work where bulky tools struggle.

Can I adjust them one-handed?

Yes. The push-button adjustment system lets you quickly size the jaws directly on the fitting.
