Tongue and groove pliers also known as water pump pliers, adjustable pliers, groove joint pliers, arc joint pliers, Multi Grips, tap or pipe spanners, gland pliers and Channellocks are a type of slip joint pliers. They have serrated jaws generally set 45 to 60 degrees from the handles. The lower jaw can be moved to a number of positions by sliding along a tracking section under the upper jaw. An advantage of this design is that the pliers can adjust to a number of sizes without the distance in the handle growing wider. These pliers often have long handles commonly 9.5 to 12 inches long for increased leverage.
Tongue-and-groove pliers are commonly used for turning and holding nuts and bolts, gripping irregularly shaped objects, and clamping materials.
