It’s big enough to change the shower head?

It depends on how big the area on the shower head you would need to grip. This wrench will grip up to about 1 inch. The teeth on the jaws of these pliers are quite sharp, and almost certain to mar the finish on a plated plumbing fixture. Bottom line, these are probably big enough but you most likely want to choose a more appropriate tool to change a shower head.

I noticed the jaw opening is one measurement and then there's a pipe cap measurement. i'm not familiar with "pipe cap". could someone please explain?

I'm not familiar either, I'm guessing maybe the cap measurement is because of the v jaw, maybe the cap measurement is larger than the jaw??

Would this be a good pair of pliers for removing a stuck round adapter from a kitchen faucet?

It's an excellent pair of slip lock pliers....i would focus on an actual pair of locking vise grips for that particular job , or a pipe wrench

What is the difference between the .8 and the 8”..???

I don’t believe they make up .8 only an 8 inch my guess is it’s a typo I have all three sizes of these that I am aware of and they work great I love the adjustability

Disappointed

I’ve used Irwin tools for a few years now and always found them to be good quality with these feelings just the same plus I loved the size of these grips, unfortunately after only six weeks the adjustment mechanism failed and the grips won’t stay at the chosen position making them not fit for purpose.

Worked well the Knipex ones

Used them twice and broke, no hassle getting a refund. Instead brought knipex make, excellent.
