Choosing the right pliers and grippers with a comfortable grip is important for technicians and field engineers to quickly perform interventions with precision. Pliers are certainly one of the most essential item for your toolkit. Thus, Telenco store has selected different ergonomically designed and crafted to a high quality standard pliers, whether you are looking for long-nose pliers, multi-nose pliers or cutting pliers.

What are the different types of pliers?

There are many different types of pliers, each with a specific function and can be categorised as non-adjustable, locking and adjustable (also called channel-lock pliers).

Cutting pliers are used to cut small diameter materials and wires. If you want to cut cables with a larger diameter, you can use cable and bolt cutters. They are designed to cut through resistant items such as sections of steel wire, chains or padlocks. If you need to cut the sheathing of copper wires, wire strippers are the recommended tool. A conventional wire stripper must be adjusted manually to the cable using the adjustment screw, whereas an automatic wire stripper adjusts itself. However, both solutions provide a clean result for stripping and working on your cables.

When it comes to clamping, spring hose clamp pliers or half-round pliers are the right choice. Spring hose clamp pliers have an adjustable joint to adapt to the size of the elements to be clamped and offer a high level of force. The needle-nose pliers (or long-nose pliers) do not provide as much force as the multi-nose pliers, but they enable you to me more precise and can reach areas that are more difficult to access. They are the right tool for delicate tasks like electrical work.

Keep in mind that the length of the handles affects the power of the pliers: the longer the handle, the greater the leverage.

If you need pliers that won’t slipping off work pieces and will offer a good grip, universal grip locking pliers are the hand tools you are looking for. They work by adjusting to the size of the work piece and then locking into the target object, keeping the jaws securely clamped regardless of the handle's orientation.
