The Draper Soft Grip Long Nose Pliers - 165 Mm are designed for professionals and DIY enthusiasts needing precision and comfort for detailed tasks. Their primary benefit is the combination of fine gripping surfaces with a comfortable, ergonomic handle, allowing for extended use without fatigue. A potential caveat is that their specialized long nose design may not be ideal for heavy-duty gripping tasks requiring broader jaws. This tool features serrated gripping surfaces for secure hold, an adjustable opening mechanism with a quick-release lever for efficient adjustments, and a soft-grip handle for enhanced user comfort during operation. The pliers weigh only 0.31 pounds, making them lightweight and easy to maneuver.

These pliers are primarily designed for detailed work, reaching into tight spaces, bending wires, and gripping small components with precision.
The pliers feature an adjustable opening mechanism, often controlled by a lever or sliding component, allowing you to set the jaw width. Use the quick release lever to open the jaws and then adjust to the desired width.
While long nose pliers can sometimes cut thin wires in a pinch, they are not designed as cutting tools. For dedicated wire cutting, use diagonal cutters or combination pliers.
The soft grip handle provides enhanced comfort during use, reducing hand fatigue and improving control, especially during prolonged tasks.
The Draper Soft Grip Long Nose Pliers weigh approximately 0.31 pounds, making them lightweight and easy to maneuver.
Wipe them clean with a dry or slightly damp cloth after use. Store in a dry place and periodically lubricate the pivot point with light machine oil to ensure smooth operation and prevent rust.
No, these pliers are designed for precision and detailed work. For heavy-duty gripping or cutting, consider larger, more robust pliers.
Ensure the object is correctly positioned within the serrated area of the jaws. Check for any debris or oil on the gripping surfaces and clean them. Verify that the adjustable opening is set appropriately for the object's size.
Clean the pivot point and lever mechanism. Apply a small amount of light machine oil to the pivot. Ensure no foreign material is obstructing the lever's movement.
Inspect the pivot screw; if it appears loose, gently tighten it. Over-tightening can restrict movement, so adjust carefully for smooth operation.
Gently remove rust spots with a fine-grit sandpaper or steel wool. Clean the jaws thoroughly and apply a light coat of oil to prevent future rust.
