FAQs
What is the total length of these pliers?
Both pliers in the 185.2L set have an overall length of 340mm.
Are these suitable for electrical work?
While they provide great reach, they are not insulated, so they should not be used on high-voltage live circuits.
Does this set include both straight and offset pliers?
Yes, the 185.2L set includes one pair of straight-nose pliers and one pair of offset-nose pliers.
Can I use these for cutting heavy-gauge wire?
These pliers are primarily designed for reaching and gripping; they are not intended to serve as heavy-duty wire cutters.
Do I need to maintain the joints?
Occasional lubrication of the pivot points with machine oil is recommended to keep the double-jointed action smooth.
Troubleshooting
Pliers feel stiff or difficult to open
Apply a small amount of penetrating lubricant to the joints and work the handles back and forth to loosen debris.
Jaws are not gripping securely
Inspect the serrated teeth for accumulated grime or metal shavings and clean with a wire brush.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent reach for deep-access applications
- Double-jointed mechanism improves grip force
- Includes both straight and offset styles

Cons
- Length may be awkward for tight, close-up work

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These pliers are ready for immediate use straight out of the box. As professional-grade manual tools, they require no assembly or calibration. To ensure longevity, keep the joints clean and free of debris that could obstruct the smooth mechanical movement of the double-jointed pivot. Periodically apply a light machine oil to the pivot points to maintain smooth operation and prevent corrosion, especially if the tools are used in damp or humid environments. Store in a dry, ventilated tool chest to protect the serrated jaws from damage.
