These everyday pliers with fine-tipped jaws and 5/8 inch side cutters are essential for applications like wiring electrical circuits, installing drop ceilings, and maintaining and repairing vehicles and equipment.
![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Stout, Strong Build Much thicker than our 7 in. Long Nose Pliers, these stout, strong pliers resist bending and flexing along their entire length to handle the toughest jobs. ![]() Fine Tipped Jaws Tapering to a fine tip just at the nose, the jaws are thick and wide at the base so they won't roll over each other or separate when you are aggressively pulling or twisting. ![]() Crosscut Teeth Oriented at 120 degrees to each other, the serrations are cut in two passes to form regularly-spaced, diamond-shaped teeth. ![]() 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 work piece. Larger pliers with more aggressive teeth provide a stronger grip on less delicate parts. ![]() Clean Cut with Minimal Effort Machining the blades to an optimized 65-degree angle allows them to be strong yet sharp, producing a satisfyingly smooth, clean cut that requires minimal effort. ![]() INDUCTION HARDENED: After the full pliers have been heat treated, a secondary induction-heating process hardens just the blades to 58-64 HRC, making them extremely durable and able to cut tougher materials. KNIFE-TO-KNIFE: Comprised of two opposing blades that meet in the center, it is an extremely reliable cutting method, especially for harder wires. For a clean, low-effort cut, it requires a high level of manufacturing expertise to produce the near perfect alignment of the blades. When this cannot be consistently achieved, some manufacturers may turn to a less effective knife-and-anvil design (one knife blade, one blunted blade) that doesn't require such precise alignment. Lean and Practical Grips Single-layer vinyl grips offer a bit of comfortable cushion and provide a smooth, yet nonslip surface. They're slim, not thick and bulky, so they stay out of the way when space is tight and are always easy to handle, even with gloves on. ![]() Non-absorbing and resistant to most common fuels, lubricants, and cleaners. Won't get soft or sticky over time. Easy to wipe clean. |
