Roughneck Combination Pliers - 200mm - 10-114

Combination pliers are designed for a variety of tasks including gripping, bending, twisting, and cutting wires and cables. They are a versatile tool for general-purpose use.

This refers to a manufacturing process that makes the steel exceptionally strong, resistant to wear, and less likely to break under stress, ensuring a long tool life.

The induction hardening process creates an extremely hard cutting surface, which allows the pliers to cut through wires and cables cleanly and retain sharpness over many uses.

While durable, they are intended for general combination plier tasks. For very heavy-duty applications like cutting thick steel rods, specialized cutters might be more appropriate.

The lanyard hole allows you to attach a safety lanyard or wrist strap. This helps prevent the pliers from being dropped, which is crucial when working at height or near sensitive equipment.

Avoid abrasive cleaning methods that could remove the coating. Clean gently with a damp cloth and dry immediately. Apply light oil periodically to the pivot and cutting areas.

Yes, the gripping jaws are designed to provide a firm hold. However, for heavily seized or large fasteners, a dedicated wrench or socket might offer better torque and prevent damage to the fastener or the pliers.

Clean the pivot area and apply a light lubricant. Check for any debris caught in the mechanism.

Ensure you are cutting appropriate materials. For damaged edges, professional sharpening or replacement may be necessary. The induction-hardened edge is durable but can be damaged by excessive force or improper use.

Clean the grips with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary, then dry thoroughly. If grips are torn or significantly damaged, consider replacing the pliers as grip integrity is important for comfort and safety.

Wipe away any surface rust with a fine steel wool or brass brush. Clean the tool and apply a rust-inhibiting oil. Ensure the tool is stored in a dry place.
