FAQs
What material are these pliers made from?
The pliers are constructed from drop forged and heat treated steel for strength and durability.
What is the primary purpose of the serrated jaws?
The serrated jaws are designed to provide a secure and firm grip on various materials, preventing slippage.
Can these pliers be used for electrical wire stripping?
These combination pliers include a wire/cable cutter, but they are not specifically designed for wire stripping. For precise electrical wire stripping, a dedicated wire stripper tool is recommended.
How do I clean and maintain the pliers?
Wipe them clean after use, apply light oil to the pivot, and store them in a dry place to prevent rust and maintain smooth operation.
What is the overall length of these pliers?
The length of these Rolson combination pliers is 200mm.
Are the cushion handles replaceable?
The double-dipped cushion handles are integrated into the design and are not typically user-replaceable.
What types of materials can the integrated cutter handle?
The integral wire/cable cutter is suitable for general-purpose wires and cables. For very hard or thick materials, a more specialized cutting tool may be required.
Troubleshooting
Pliers feel stiff or difficult to open/close
Clean any debris from the pivot area. Apply a small amount of lubricating oil to the pivot point and work the handles back and forth until smooth.
Jaws do not grip firmly
Ensure the jaws are clean and free from oil or grease. Check for any damage or wear on the serrations. For very smooth materials, a tighter grip may be needed, but avoid overtightening which can damage the material.
Cutter is not cutting cleanly
Inspect the cutting edges for debris or damage. Clean thoroughly. If the blades are damaged, the cutting function may be compromised. Ensure you are not attempting to cut materials harder than intended for these pliers.
Handles feel slippery
The double-dipped cushion handles are designed for grip. If they feel excessively slippery, ensure your hands are dry and clean. If the coating appears damaged, it may affect grip.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Durable construction due to drop forging and heat treatment.
- Versatile with both gripping and cutting functions.
- Comfortable handling with cushion grips.
- Corrosion-resistant polished heads.
- Secure grip provided by serrated jaws.
Cons
- Specific 200mm length may be too large for very small jobs or too small for heavy-duty leverage.
- Not ideal for specialized tasks like electrical wire stripping.
- Cushion handles may wear over time with heavy industrial use.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These pliers require no setup. They are ready for immediate use straight out of the packaging.
Compatibility: The cutting function is best suited for soft to medium-hard wires and cables. For hardened steel wire or very thick cables, separate cutting tools may be necessary. The gripping jaws are compatible with a wide range of materials including metal, plastic, and wood, though care should be taken not to damage soft surfaces.
Care: To maintain performance and longevity:
- Wipe down the pliers with a dry cloth after each use to remove dirt and moisture.
- Periodically apply a light machine oil to the pivot point to ensure smooth operation and prevent rust.
- Store in a dry environment, such as a toolbox or workshop drawer, to protect against humidity.
- Avoid using excessive force that could damage the jaws or cutter.
