7" Extractor Locking Grounding Pliers (Select Model From Options Above)

Lock onto the workpiece for a secure, dependable welding ground connection.
SHT-GPB700 Series Locking Grounding Pliers combine the holding power of locking pliers with high-conductivity copper contact surfaces for welding and fabrication applications. The locking design helps maintain consistent contact with the workpiece while the crank-style handle provides quick adjustment and release.

Choose from three configurations depending on the required clamping range and amperage: the SHT-GPB710 Fixed Jaw 300A, SHT-GPB720 Adjustable Jaw 300A, or SHT-GPB750 Adjustable Jaw 500A with Copper Wire Connection.

Which Model Should I Choose?

SHT-GPB710 – Fixed Jaw 300A

The SHT-GPB710 is the straightforward option for general welding grounding applications. Its fixed-jaw configuration provides up to 1" (25mm) of clamping capacity with a standard copper grounding contact.

With a 300A rating, this model is a good choice when you want a compact locking ground plier without the additional jaw adjustment of the larger models.

SHT-GPB720 – Adjustable Jaw 300A

The SHT-GPB720 adds a dual-range adjustable jaw for greater flexibility when working with different material thicknesses and workpiece shapes.

The adjustable jaw provides up to 2.25" (57mm) of clamping capacity while maintaining a 300A rating. The two-position design allows the jaw opening range to be changed for larger workpieces.

SHT-GPB750 – Adjustable Jaw 500A with Copper Wire Connection

The SHT-GPB750 is the heavy-duty option in the series. It combines the 2.25" (57mm) dual-range adjustable jaw with a 500A amperage rating.

This model also features a copper wire-connected grounding contact designed to provide enhanced conductivity and efficient current transfer for higher-amperage welding applications.

Model Comparison

Secure Copper Grounding Contact

The copper contact surfaces provide a conductive connection between the grounding pliers and the workpiece. The locking mechanism applies consistent clamping force to help maintain stable electrical contact throughout the welding operation.

This combination gives the SHT-GPB700 Series the convenience of locking pliers while providing a purpose-built grounding contact for welding applications.

More Than a Grounding Plier

The copper grounding components can be removed to expose the underlying gripping jaws, giving the tool additional usefulness around the shop.

With the copper grounding contact removed, the jaw design provides:

• Serrated Grip: Textured surfaces for gripping and pulling.
• V-Notch: Helps hold small round workpieces.
• Small-Part Grip: Useful for holding nuts, bolts, pins, and other small components.
• Hammerhead: Built-in hammerhead provides additional shop utility.
• Scraping Edge: The hammerhead edge can also be used for light scraping tasks.

Common Applications

• Welding ground connections
• Fabrication and assembly
• Structural steel fabrication
• Industrial maintenance
• Equipment repair
• Shop welding
• Field welding
• High-amperage welding with SHT-GPB750
• Holding small workpieces with the copper contact removed

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between SHT-GPB710, SHT-GPB720, and SHT-GPB750?
The SHT-GPB710 has a fixed jaw with 1" capacity and a 300A rating. The SHT-GPB720 adds a dual-range adjustable jaw with 2.25" capacity while maintaining the 300A rating. The SHT-GPB750 provides the same 2.25" adjustable capacity but adds a copper wire-connected grounding contact and increases the rating to 500A.

Which model has the largest clamping capacity?
Both the SHT-GPB720 and SHT-GPB750 provide up to 2.25" (57mm) of clamping capacity.

Which model is rated for 500 amps?
The SHT-GPB750 is rated for welding applications up to 500A.

What are the SHT-GPB710 and SHT-GPB720 rated for?
Both models are rated at 300A.

What is the advantage of the adjustable jaw?
The dual-range jaw on the SHT-GPB720 and SHT-GPB750 increases the maximum opening to 2.25", making the pliers more flexible when grounding to thicker materials and larger workpieces.

What is different about the SHT-GPB750 copper connection?
The SHT-GPB750 uses a copper wire-connected contact system for enhanced conductivity and current transfer in higher-amperage applications.

Can the copper grounding contact be removed?
Yes. The copper grounding components can be removed, exposing the serrated gripping jaws underneath for additional gripping applications.

Can these pliers hold round material?
Yes. The underlying jaw includes a V-notch that helps securely grip smaller round workpieces when used as locking pliers.

Which model should I choose for general welding?
For straightforward grounding applications requiring up to 300A and no extended jaw range, the SHT-GPB710 is the simplest option. Choose the SHT-GPB720 when you need greater clamping capacity, or the SHT-GPB750 when you need the larger jaw range and a 500A rating.
