Minotaur Long Nose Pliers - 200mm

These pliers have soft-grip handles for comfort, but they are not rated as VDE or insulated tools for high-voltage protection. Always ensure circuits are de-energized before working.

The total length of the tool is 200mm, with the tapered jaws accounting for approximately 75mm of that length.

They are made of Chrome Vanadium steel, which offers good corrosion resistance. However, they are not stainless steel and should be kept dry and wiped down after exposure to moisture.

No. These pliers are designed for cutting light gauge wire and cable. Attempting to cut thick bolts or hardened steel will damage the induction-hardened edges.

The precision-machined joint is designed to resist loosening; however, avoid using the pliers as a lever or for prying to maintain the joint's factory tightness.

They are manufactured from high-strength Chrome Vanadium steel, which is standard for professional-grade hand tools due to its excellent balance of hardness and toughness.

Apply a small amount of penetrating oil to the center pivot joint and work the pliers open and closed several times to clear out trapped dust.

Inspect for nicks or damage to the cutting edge. Ensure you are only cutting wire within the tool's capacity (copper/soft steel); avoid cutting hardened steel.

The dual-component handles are press-fitted. Ensure the tool is kept at room temperature. If they continue to slip, check for debris buildup underneath the handle coating.
