Product Information
Full details
The Facom 187.20Cpe Engineers Combination Pliers are precision-engineered tools designed for professional tradespeople and technicians who require high-leverage gripping and cutting capabilities. These pliers provide the key benefit of significantly reduced manual effort when cutting through various wire types, thanks to their specialized offset pivot design. While they excel in workshop durability and chemical resistance, users should note that their robust, industrial-grade construction is specifically optimized for heavy-duty tasks rather than delicate electronics work.

FAQs
Are these pliers suitable for electrical work?
These pliers are built for mechanical and general industrial tasks. They are not VDE-rated or insulated for high-voltage electrical live-wire applications.
What is the total length of the 187.20Cpe?
The total length of this model is 205mm.
Can I use these to cut piano wire?
Yes, the cutting edges are hardened to 61/63 HRc, making them capable of cutting both piano and soft wire.
What materials are the handles made of?
The handles are made of a durable, ergonomic material specifically formulated to resist chemical agents found in workshop environments.
Do these pliers meet safety standards?
Yes, they comply with ISO 5746, DIN ISO 5746, and NF ISO 5746 international standards.
Troubleshooting
Pliers become stiff or difficult to open
Apply a small amount of machine oil to the pivot point and work the handles back and forth to distribute the lubrication.
Cutting performance has decreased
Inspect the cutting edges for debris or small nicks; if edges are worn, the tool should be professionally sharpened or replaced to maintain safety standards.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Significantly reduces hand fatigue during repetitive cutting tasks
- Highly durable cutting edges suitable for piano wire
- Handles are impervious to common workshop solvents and chemicals
- Excellent build quality consistent with professional-grade standards
- Balanced 205mm length provides optimal torque and control
Cons
- May feel heavy for users accustomed to lightweight household pliers
- Not specifically insulated for high-voltage electrical work
- Designed primarily for heavy-duty industrial tasks rather than precision electronics
Setup, Compatibility & Care
No specialized setup is required; these pliers are ready to use out of the box. To maintain the 187.20Cpe, keep the joint mechanism lubricated with a light machine oil to ensure smooth opening and closing. After working in dirty environments, wipe the steel surfaces with a clean cloth to prevent oxidation. While the alloy is highly resistant to corrosion, store the tool in a dry toolbox to preserve the integrity of the cutting edges. Avoid using the pliers as a hammer or pry bar, as this can misalign the pivot point and diminish the precision of the cutting edges.
