FAQs

Can I use these for wire cutting?

No, the 20 01 140 model is specifically a flat-nose gripping tool and does not feature cutting edges.

Are these insulated for electrical work?

No, these pliers do not have VDE or insulated handles and should not be used on live circuits.

What is the jaw length of this model?

The jaw length is 28.0mm.

Are the jaws magnetic?

The jaws are made of steel and may exhibit minor magnetic properties, but they are not magnetized by the manufacturer.

What is the jaw thickness at the joint?

The jaw thickness at the joint is 9.5mm.

Troubleshooting

Joint feels stiff after long periods of inactivity

Apply a drop of machine oil to the joint, work the pliers open and closed several times, and wipe away any excess.

Surface rust appearing on the jaws

Gently scrub the affected area with a fine-grit abrasive pad and apply a thin coat of rust-preventative oil.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent grip on flat, slippery surfaces
  • High-quality German steel construction
  • Compact size perfect for tool belts or small kits
  • High resistance to wear and tear

Cons

  • Not suitable for deep-reach applications

Setup, Compatibility & Care

No specific assembly is required for these pliers; they are ready for use immediately upon removal from packaging. To maintain the life of the tool, keep the joint mechanism lubricated with a light machine oil and wipe the jaws clean after each use to remove metallic dust or debris. Store the tool in a dry environment to prevent surface corrosion, as these pliers are made of steel. They are compatible with all general workshop materials and are not insulated, so they should not be used for live electrical work.
