Details
Broad, Flat Jaws
The jaws are nearly square with a straight, flat nose. They can bend thin, flat pieces like metal tabs, mounting brackets, and cable clamps to a crisp right angle.
Gap Spacing Holds Wire Ends
A small gap (1 mm ±0.5 mm) allows the jaw faces to remain nearly parallel while holding the ends of multiple wires, keeping each wire flat and in position while twisting them together.
Grip in All Directions
Unlike straight serrations where the grip strength varies relative to tooth direction, a crosscut pattern grips evenly in any direction.
Range of Tooth Types
Smaller pliers with fine teeth are best for smaller precision applications and result in less marring of the workpiece. Larger pliers with more aggressive teeth provide a stronger grip on less delicate parts.
Crosscut Teeth
Oriented at 120 degrees to each other, the serrations are cut in two passes to form regularly-spaced, diamond-shaped teeth.
High-Leverage Lower Jaws
Because they are located below the pivot and a little closer to the fulcrum, the lower jaws can exert about 30% more force than the main jaws, useful for crushing functions like closing wire clamps and crimping connectors.
Knife-to-Knife Cutting Jaws
Machining the blades to a 65-degree angle allows them to be strong yet sharp, producing a smooth, clean cut with minimal effort. They are comprised of two opposing blades that meet in the center, resulting in an extremely reliable cutting method, especially for harder wires. The blades are hardened to 58 - 64 HRC.
Cutting Capacities
Wide Profile Handles
The handles have an extra-wide, gently rounded profile that creates a large, smooth contact surface. This spreads out the pressure against your hand so you can comfortably squeeze as hard as needed.
Vinyl Grips
Slim single-layer vinyl grips offer a smooth, nonslip surface that is easy to clean.
