Product Information

Full details

The Facom 192A.16CPE High-Performance Side Cutting Pliers are designed for professional tradespeople and technicians who require a reliable, heavy-duty tool for cutting various wire types, including tough piano wire. These pliers offer superior leverage and ergonomic comfort to minimize fatigue during repetitive tasks, though they are specifically tuned for precision cutting rather than heavy-duty gripping or bending. Featuring a high-durability carbon alloy steel construction, they are an essential asset for any workshop where chemical resistance and long-lasting edge retention are mandatory.

FAQs

Can these pliers cut piano wire?

Yes, the 192A.16CPE is rated for cutting piano wire up to 2.0mm.

Are the handles safe to handle with fuel or acetone?

Yes, the bi-material grips are specifically engineered for high resistance to Skydrol, acetone, and petrol.

What is the hardness rating of the blades?

The cutting edges are induction hardened to 61/63 HRc.

Does the tether point affect the tool's size?

Yes, the integrated tether point adds 10mm to the nominal length of the pliers.

Do these pliers meet safety standards?

Yes, they are built in accordance with ISO 5749 and DIN standards.

What does the 160mm dimension refer to?

This refers to the nominal length of the tool, excluding the additional length from the tether point.

Troubleshooting

Pliers feel stiff or difficult to open.

Clean the pivot point of any debris and apply a small drop of machine oil.

Cutting performance has decreased over time.

Inspect the edges for chips. If edges are worn, the tool may require professional sharpening or replacement if the hardening depth has been exceeded.

Return spring is not pushing handles open fully.

Check for debris or obstructions in the spring mechanism; clean with compressed air and ensure the pivot is properly lubricated.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Facom 192A.16CPE provides years of service, follow these maintenance guidelines:

  1. Routine Inspection: Periodically check the cutting edges for nicks or metal build-up.
  2. Cleaning: Wipe the tool down with a clean, dry cloth after exposure to corrosive liquids. While the grips are chemical-resistant, avoiding prolonged submersion in aggressive solvents is recommended.
  3. Lubrication: Apply a light machine oil to the pivot point occasionally to maintain smooth opening and closing action, especially if the return spring feels sluggish.
  4. Storage: Store in a dry environment. Use the tether loop only with rated, compatible safety equipment to prevent dropping hazards in elevated environments.
  5. Compliance: These pliers are manufactured to ISO 5749 and DIN standards, ensuring compatibility with standard industrial safety protocols.
