Product Information
Full details
The DURATOOL Forceps - 150mm - Bent are versatile tools for various applications, acting as needle nose pliers, clamps, heat sinks, or vices. Ideal for professionals and hobbyists needing precise manipulation and grip, their primary benefit lies in their multi-functional design and durable stainless steel construction. A minor consideration is the bent tip, which may not be suitable for all ultra-fine or straight-line gripping tasks.

FAQs
What material are these forceps made from?
They are manufactured from durable stainless steel.
What is the purpose of the serrated jaws?
The serrated jaws are designed to provide a strong, non-slip grip on objects.
Can these be used as heat sinks?
Yes, due to their stainless steel construction, they can function as makeshift heat sinks for small components during soldering.
How do I maintain the red handles?
The red dip-coated handles should be wiped clean with a damp cloth and dried thoroughly. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Are these forceps suitable for sterile environments?
No, these forceps are not sterile instruments and should not be used in medical or laboratory procedures requiring sterility.
What does 'bent' refer to in the product name?
The 'bent' refers to the tip of the forceps, which is angled to allow for better access to tight or awkward spaces.
What is the length of the forceps?
The forceps are 6 inches (150mm) in length.
Troubleshooting
Jaws do not close tightly
Ensure the interlocking teeth are properly aligned. Clean any debris from the jaws. Check if the handles are fully compressed.
Handles feel slippery
Wipe the red dip-coated handles with a dry cloth. Ensure there is no oil or grease on the handles.
Corrosion spots appear on the metal
Gently clean the affected area with a non-abrasive stainless steel cleaner. Ensure the forceps are thoroughly dried after use and stored in a dry environment.
Bent tip is misaligned
For minor misalignment, attempt to gently realign by hand. If significantly bent, the forceps may need replacement as attempting forceful realignment can cause further damage.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Compatibility: Compatible with a wide range of materials and applications where a 150mm bent gripping tool is suitable. They are particularly useful for metal, plastic, wire, and small components.
Care:
- Cleaning: After each use, clean the jaws to remove any debris. A soft cloth, slightly dampened with water or a mild cleaning solution, is recommended. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the stainless steel or handle coating.
- Drying: Always dry the forceps thoroughly after cleaning to prevent water spots or potential corrosion, especially if exposed to moisture.
- Storage: Store in a clean, dry place. Avoid storing them where they can be damaged or where the jaws might be forced open or closed, which could affect alignment.
