Combination Pliers

Length and version determine use

Combination pliers combine gripping, bending and cutting in one tool. The choice starts with length. Short versions from 115 to 165 mm work in tight spaces. Long models up to 200 mm give more leverage for heavier work. Think about where you use the pliers most. That helps you choose.

Where ordering goes wrong

Pay attention to the grip. It must sit comfortably and insulate well. Pliers without an insulating grip are not insulating pliers. If you work on electrical installations, choose a model that meets the standard for insulating tools. Also check that the jaws are hardened and the cutting edges are extra ground. That determines how long the pliers stay sharp.

Standards and hanging

Most combination pliers comply with DIN ISO 5746. That standard guarantees dimensions and hardness. Check whether the pliers can be hung up. A hanging hole in the jaws or handle keeps your workbench tidy. You will find the pliers quickly.

Looking for pliers for a specific job? At pliers you will find the full range. For cutting wire and cable choose cutting pliers, and for narrow jaws and awkward spots long nose pliers. If you need to make cable connections, wire stripping and crimping pliers help you further, and for clamping sheet metal there are locking pliers.
