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

Strong Grip and Super Handy to Have Around

These locking pliers are really solid and grip tight on just about anything. The V jaw makes it easier to grab round stuff like pipes without slipping. Easy to adjust and lock in place, and the release works smoothly. Definitely one of those tools you end up using more than you expect.
