Draper Soft Grip MIG Pliers - 210mm

These pliers are designed to assist with common MIG welding tasks, including removing spatter, handling welding wire, and removing/installing contact tips and shrouds.

They are suitable for standard MIG welding wire sizes for cutting and drawing out. For very heavy gauge wire, a dedicated wire cutter might offer better performance.

Wipe the jaws clean with a dry or slightly damp cloth after use to remove spatter and residue. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

The pliers have a cutting length of 21 cm (approximately 8.27 inches).

The soft grip handles are designed for comfort and improved grip. They do not provide electrical insulation.

While they can remove spatter, it's advisable to allow the welding area to cool sufficiently before using the pliers to avoid damaging the tool or causing burns.

Minimal maintenance is required. Keep the jaws clean and periodically lubricate the pivot point for smooth operation.

Clean the jaws of any spatter or debris. Ensure the spring-loaded mechanism is functioning correctly and not obstructed.

Ensure the wire is correctly positioned against the cutting edge. For thicker wires, a dedicated wire cutter may be more effective.

Check for debris around the pivot point. Apply a small amount of lubricant to the pivot to restore smooth operation.

Ensure the pliers are gripping the component firmly. Try a slight twisting motion. If severely seized, apply a penetrating lubricant and allow it to sit before attempting removal again.
