What is the jaw opening size?
The jaw opening is 15mm.
Can these pliers be used on wood framing?
No, these pliers are specifically designed for use on metal studs and tracks used in drywall systems.
Do I need any other tools to use these pliers?
No, the pliers are a standalone tool for connecting metal framing components. You will, of course, need your drywall and studs/tracks.
How do I maintain the tool?

What are the overall dimensions of the pliers?
The pliers have a length of 330mm (13 inches) and a width of 60mm (2.3/8 inches).
Are screws required after using these pliers?
No, the primary advantage of these pliers is that they create a connection by punching and setting the metal, eliminating the need for separate screws or anchors for the framing connection itself.
Troubleshooting
Pliers not creating a secure connection
Ensure the metal profiles are properly aligned and that the jaws are fully closing. Check for any obstructions or damage to the jaws. Verify that the material thickness is within the pliers' capacity.
Difficulty squeezing the handles
Inspect the pivot point for debris or damage. Clean and lubricate the pivot if necessary. Ensure the metal being worked with is not excessively thick or hard.
Jaws are not aligning correctly
Examine the jaws for any bending or damage. If deformed, the pliers may need to be replaced. Ensure the material is seated correctly within the jaws.

- Allows for precise work in confined areas near walls.
- Durable construction ensures a long service life.
- Simple to use, requiring minimal training.
Cons
- Limited to specific metal profile sizes due to the fixed jaw opening.
- May not be suitable for applications requiring exceptionally high structural strength compared to screwed connections.
- Requires a clean and straight edge on the profiles for optimal performance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
These pliers require no assembly or setup. They are ready for use directly out of the packaging. Ensure the jaws are clean and free of debris before each use.
Compatibility:
The Edma Profil 2 RM Section Setting Pliers are designed for use with standard metal drywall studs and tracks. The 15mm jaw opening is optimized for common profiles. Compatibility may be reduced with exceptionally thick or unusually shaped metal sections.
Care:
- Keep the jaws clean. Wipe with a dry or slightly damp cloth after use to remove dust and metal shavings.
- Periodically check the pivot point for smooth operation. A drop of light lubricating oil can be applied if needed.
- Store in a dry location to prevent rust. Avoid exposing the tool to excessive moisture or corrosive environments.
