The Beta 1062 Adjustable Self-Locking Pliers are an essential addition to any professional workshop or industrial toolkit. Designed with specialized C-shaped jaws, these pliers provide the unique clearance needed to reach around obstacles and grip profiles that standard locking pliers simply cannot manage. Whether you are performing intricate welding tasks, bodywork, or complex assembly, the Beta 1062 offers the stability of a portable vice with the maneuverability of a hand tool.

The Beta 1062 Adjustable Self-Locking Pliers with C-Shaped Jaws represent the pinnacle of Italian engineering for specialized clamping needs. In professional environments—particularly in automotive restoration and structural welding—access is often the primary challenge. Standard locking pliers feature straight or curved jaws that are limited by their shallow reach. The C profile of the 1062 model solves this by creating a bridge over the edge of a workpiece, allowing the clamping force to be applied further inward from the margin.
Constructed for those who demand reliability, the Beta 1062 is built to endure the rigors of a high-output shop. The self-locking mechanism is designed to provide a "set it and forget it" experience; once the knurled screw is adjusted to the thickness of your material, the pliers snap into place with a definitive click, ensuring that your workpieces remain perfectly aligned during critical operations like tack welding or adhesive curing. This level of stability effectively provides the user with an extra hand, which is vital for solo operators or precision-heavy projects.
Safety and ergonomics are also at the forefront of the Beta design. The lever-release mechanism is positioned to be easily accessible, allowing for a quick, controlled release that minimizes the risk of sudden snaps or pinches. The surface finish is not just for aesthetics; the smooth chrome plating makes the tool easy to clean after exposure to oils, greases, or debris. Because the jaws are designed to distribute pressure evenly across the contact points, the Beta 1062 minimizes surface marring on softer materials compared to lower-quality alternatives. For the professional mechanic, metal fabricator, or serious hobbyist, investing in the Beta 1062 means choosing a tool that balances high-capacity clamping with the finesse required for detailed craftsmanship.
The C-shaped jaw allows you to clamp items that have a lip or an obstruction at the edge. It provides a deep reach, allowing the tool to bypass the outer edge of a profile and apply pressure further back on the material.
Yes, the Beta 1062 is frequently used in welding. The chrome finish helps protect the tool from weld spatter, and the open-jaw design provides excellent visibility and access for the welding torch around the clamped area.
Absolutely. By turning the screw at the end of the handle, you can increase or decrease the jaw opening and the resulting clamping force to match the specific thickness and sensitivity of your workpiece.
