Combination Plier Size

Definition of Combination Pliers

Combination pliers with a notched inner grip for holding and grasping round objects and cutting and bending wire. They are characterized by a pair of jaws with flat, serrated, or smooth surfaces, and are typically made of steel or other durable materials. The wedged jaws provide a non-slip grip for holding and bending small objects and the grip is made strong by the hook bend in both handles. The cutting edge, which is a breaking edge since it is not sharp like a knife-edge, can cut through heavy or large-gauge wire. 

Use of Combination Pliers

Combination pliers are multi-purpose pliers, combining jaws with wire cutters. They can be used for gripping, compressing, bending, twisting, extracting and cutting various materials. It has jaws designed to be especially versatile. The flat part can easily hold stock, while the rounded cut-out section is designed to hold rounded stock, such as small tubes and pipes, without crushing it.

Gripping and holding small objects

Mini combination pliers

Mini combination pliers are a smaller version of regular combination pliers that are designed for use in tight spaces or for detailed work. They are typically smaller and more compact than regular combination pliers and have a shorter handle, which makes them easier to use in confined spaces or for tasks that require a higher level of precision.
