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

Combination pliers can be used to grip and hold small objects, such as wire, cable, or nuts and bolts. They are designed to provide a secure grip and can be used to hold objects in place while working on them.

Cutting wire and other materials

Many combination pliers have sharp, serrated jaws that can be used to cut wire or other materials. They may also have a built-in wire stripper, which can be used to remove the insulation from electrical wire.

Do not use combination pliers to cut objects that are too thick or too hard to avoid damaging the pliers.

Protect your eyes:

When cutting wire, wear goggles to prevent splashing objects from hurting your eyes.

Regular maintenance:

Keep the jaws clean and lubricate the hinge part regularly to ensure flexible use.

Avoid excessive force:

Excessive force may cause damage to the pliers or the object to slip.

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.
