Product Information

Full details

These 215mm long nose pliers from Loops are designed for professionals and DIY enthusiasts needing precision and durability for intricate tasks. Their primary benefit is the combination of hardened cutters for clean cuts and serrated jaws for a secure grip, all built from drop-forged steel for longevity. A potential caveat is their specialized nature, making them less ideal for heavy-duty prying or cutting tasks that require broader jaws.

Troubleshooting

Pliers feel stiff or difficult to open/close.

Apply a light lubricating oil to the pivot joint and work the pliers back and forth to loosen them. Ensure no debris is obstructing the joint.

Cutters are not cutting cleanly.

Check the cutting edges for any damage or build-up. Clean thoroughly and ensure the material being cut is within the cutter's capacity (soft metals, wires). Do not use for hardened materials.

Jaws are slipping or not gripping securely.

Clean the serrated jaws to remove any grease or debris that might be hindering grip. Ensure you are applying adequate pressure.

Rust spots appearing on the tool.

Gently clean the rust with a fine-grit sandpaper or steel wool. Apply a light coat of oil to the affected areas and the entire tool to prevent further rusting. Store in a dry place.
