Product Information

Full details

The Facom Round Nose Pliers (model 185A.20CPE) are designed for professionals needing precision and durability in intricate tasks. Their key benefit lies in the slim, finely-ribbed jaws that offer a secure grip on both round and flat materials, combined with integrated wire cutters. A potential caveat is the specific jaw design, which may not be ideal for tasks requiring broad, flat gripping surfaces.

FAQs

What is the maximum wire thickness these pliers can cut?

These pliers are designed to cut copper and hard steel wire up to a maximum specification of 1.6mm (160 kg/mm²).

What material are the jaws made from?

The jaws are made from a particularly resistant, well-cutting, induction-hardened carbon steel alloy.

Are the grips comfortable for long periods of use?

Yes, the pliers feature ergonomic, chemical-resistant bi-material coverings designed for comfortable, heavy, and easy grip.

What is the purpose of the retaining ring?

The retaining ring (or tether ready point) increases the nominal length by 10 mm and allows for the secure attachment of a tool lanyard.

Can the return spring be removed?

Yes, the return spring can be removed if desired for specific applications.

What kind of finish do these pliers have?

They have a chrome finish, which provides corrosion resistance.

Are these pliers suitable for gripping flat objects?

While the jaws have fine ribs, their primary design is for round material and precision gripping. They are most effective on smaller, intricate components rather than wide, flat surfaces.

Troubleshooting

Pliers feel stiff or difficult to open/close

Check the pivot point for debris or rust. Clean and apply a light lubricating oil.

Wire cutters are not cutting effectively

Ensure the wire is within the specified diameter (up to 1.6mm hard steel wire) and that the cutting edges are clean and undamaged.

Grips feel slippery

Ensure grips are clean and dry. Avoid contact with oils or chemicals not compatible with the bi-material grips.

Return spring is not functioning

The return spring is designed to be removable. Ensure it is properly seated. If damaged, it may need replacement.
