Offering versatile use with strong gripping jaws and optimized cutting edges, these 180 mm combination pliers are an indispensable aid for the most challenging assembly and disassembly tasks.

Areas of Use

Thanks to their multi-functional design, they cater to a wide range of sectors including electrical, mechanical, automotive, and maintenance-repair:

Gripping and Holding: For firmly gripping flat and round materials, nuts, or shafts without slipping,

Cable and Wire Cutting: For smoothly cutting all types of conductors, from soft copper cables to medium-hard and hard steel wires,

Electrical and Plumbing Work: In panel installations, for cable pulling, bending, and shaping operations,

Automotive and Services: Safely used for holding stubborn screws, removing clips, and securing mechanical parts.

Material and Manufacturing Features

Special Tool Steel: The main body of the product is made from high-quality forged tool steel, specially hardened and oil-tempered. It offers extra resistance to bending and deformation under heavy loads.

Inductively Hardened Cutters: The cutting edges are additionally induction-hardened for long-lasting sharpness performance (approx. 60 HRC). The jaw structure is preserved even when cutting hard wires.

Multi-Component Ergonomic Handles: The dual-color, multi-component thick sheathed handle design prevents hand slippage. Its ergonomic fit in the palm minimizes fatigue and irritation during prolonged work.

Detailed Product Features

Special Jaw Design: Thanks to the flat gripping area for flat materials and the serrated pipe gripping mouth designed for round materials within the jaw, it perfectly secures parts of different geometries.

Long-Lasting Thick Cutting Edges: The thickened cutting edge structure ensures maximum power transmission when cutting thick cables and hard wires, preventing the jaws from flexing during cutting.

High Leverage Joint System: Thanks to the optimized joint position, the force you apply is transmitted to the tip at a maximum level. This allows you to achieve higher clamping and cutting performance with less wrist effort.

Usage Recommendation: To prevent notches from forming on the cutting edges of your pliers, do not cut extra-hardened steel nails or spring steel beyond the limits specified in the capacity table. Applying a drop of thin machine oil to the joint point at regular intervals will ensure the mechanism remains smooth and prevent rust.
