FAQs

What materials are these pliers made from?

These Dewalt pliers are constructed from durable chrome vanadium steel.

What types of pliers are included in this 3-piece set?

The set includes one Long Nose Pliers (200mm), one Combination Pliers (160mm), and one Diagonal Cutting Pliers (160mm).

How do the handles improve usability?

The ergonomic, two-component handles are designed for optimal shock absorption and a secure, comfortable grip, which helps reduce user fatigue during prolonged use.

Are these pliers suitable for heavy-duty industrial use?

While built for durability and strength, they are best suited for professional trade and serious DIY use. For extremely heavy-duty or specialized industrial applications, specific heavy-duty models might be more appropriate.

How can I prevent rust on my pliers?

Store the pliers in a dry place, wipe them clean after use, and apply a light coat of oil to the pivot points periodically.

Can I use the diagonal cutters for cutting tough materials like wire rope?

These diagonal cutters are designed for standard electrical wire and similar materials. Cutting materials like wire rope may damage the blades and is not recommended.

What is the benefit of the black oxidised finish?

The black oxidised finish increases the pliers' resistance to corrosion, helping to protect them and extend their lifespan.

Troubleshooting

Pliers feel stiff or difficult to open/close

Check the pivot joint for debris or rust. Clean thoroughly and apply a light lubricant. Ensure the handles are not bent or damaged.

Cutting edges are not sharp or not cutting cleanly

Inspect the cutting edges for damage or dullness. If slightly dull, you might be able to sharpen them carefully with a sharpening stone. For significant damage, replacement may be necessary. Ensure you are using the diagonal cutters for appropriate wire types.

Gripping surfaces are worn or not effective

Clean the gripping jaws to remove any residue. If the serrations are significantly worn down, the pliers' gripping effectiveness will be reduced. Consider if the material being gripped is too hard or smooth for the plier type.

Pros and Cons

  • Built with strong chrome vanadium steel for excellent durability.
  • Laser-hardened edges ensure sharp cutting and reliable gripping.

  • Ergonomic handles offer comfort and control, reducing fatigue.
  • Includes a versatile combination of three essential plier types.

Cons

  • Specific sizes may not suit highly specialized or intricate tasks without additional tools.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This set requires no setup; the tools are ready for immediate use out of the packaging.

Compatibility: These pliers are compatible with a wide range of materials commonly found in construction, electrical work, and general DIY projects, including soft and hard wires, cables, and small metal components.

Care: To maintain performance and longevity:

  1. Cleaning: After each use, wipe the pliers clean with a dry or slightly damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. Avoid using harsh solvents.
  2. Lubrication: Periodically apply a light coat of oil to the pivot points to ensure smooth operation and prevent rust.
  3. Storage: Store the pliers in a dry environment, such as a toolbox or tool roll, to protect them from moisture and damage.
  4. Avoid Overload: Do not use the pliers for tasks beyond their specified capabilities (e.g., cutting hardened steel rods not intended for cutting).
