Product Information
Full details
The Rikä 200mm High Leverage Bent Long Nose Pliers are designed for electricians, automotive technicians, and mechanical engineers who require precision gripping in restricted spaces. These pliers excel by providing superior access around obstructions thanks to their 45-degree angled tip, though their specialized design makes them less versatile for general-purpose heavy-duty cutting compared to standard linesman pliers.

FAQs
Are these pliers insulated for electrical work?
While these pliers have ergonomic handles, they are not VDE rated for high-voltage electrical work. Always ensure power is disconnected.
Can I use these to cut bolts?
No, these pliers are designed for cutting small gauge wire. Attempting to cut bolts will damage the cutting edges.
What is the primary advantage of the 45-degree bend?
The bend allows you to keep your hand clear of the workspace, providing better visibility and access around obstructions.
How do I prevent the pliers from rusting?
The pliers feature a protective chrome plating. To preserve this, keep the tool clean and store it in a moisture-free environment.
Are these tools suitable for heavy-duty industrial use?
Yes, they are forged from Chrome Vanadium steel and designed for daily use by professionals in mechanical and electrical fields.
Troubleshooting
Pliers feel stiff or difficult to open
Clean any debris from the pivot area and apply a small amount of machine oil, opening and closing the jaws several times to distribute it.
Jaws are not gripping small wires firmly
Check the serrated teeth for accumulated grease or dirt and scrub with a wire brush; ensure the tips are aligned correctly.
Cutting edges are not producing clean cuts
Verify you are not attempting to cut materials beyond the tool's capacity, such as hardened steel wire or thick bolts.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These pliers do not require any specialized setup. To maintain the tool's performance, wipe the jaws and pivot point with a clean cloth after each use to remove metal shavings or debris. Periodically apply a light machine oil to the pivot point to keep the action smooth. Store in a dry tool bag or cabinet to ensure the chrome finish remains intact and free from rust. While the pliers are constructed from hardened steel, avoid using them as a pry bar or hammer, as this may compromise the jaw alignment or the structural integrity of the pivot point.
