Draper Long Nose Pliers - 230mm

The primary advantage is their ability to lock onto a workpiece, providing a secure, hands-free grip that frees up the user's hands for other tasks. They also offer consistent pressure once locked.

Grip size is adjusted using a screw, typically located near the pivot or on one of the handles. Rotate the screw to set the initial jaw opening before squeezing the handles to engage the self-grip lock.

The product description focuses on gripping capabilities. While some long-nose pliers include cutters, the specifications for this model (DR-11903) do not explicitly mention a cutting function. It is primarily designed for gripping and holding.

The jaws are manufactured from good quality steel that is hardened, tempered, and nickel-plated for durability and corrosion resistance.

While the long nose offers precision, the serrated jaws are designed for a strong grip. For extremely delicate materials that could be easily scratched or crushed, caution is advised, or alternative gripping tools might be more appropriate.

Information on specific warranty periods is typically found on the manufacturer's or seller's official website or documentation. Please refer to Draper's official channels for precise warranty details.

These are 230mm (approximately 9 inches) long nose self-grip pliers.

Ensure the adjustment screw is set correctly. Try a slightly smaller initial jaw opening. Clean any debris from the jaws and pivot point.

Check for grease or oil on the jaws; clean them thoroughly. Ensure you are gripping an appropriate surface; very smooth or rounded objects may be difficult to hold securely. Try adjusting the locking screw for a tighter initial bite.

Clean the pivot and release mechanism. Apply a small amount of light oil to the pivot points. Ensure no debris is obstructing the lever's movement.

Inspect the serrated jaws for significant wear or damage. If severely worn, the gripping power will be compromised, and the pliers may need replacement.
