Featuring a 160mm combination plier, long nose plier, and diagonal side cutter, this set provides the versatility needed for common gripping, twisting, and cutting tasks.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Are these pliers suitable for electrical work?

These pliers are general-duty tools. They are not VDE-rated for high-voltage work, so they should never be used on live electrical circuits.

What is the length of the tools in this set?

All three tools included in this set are 160mm in length.

Can I use these for cutting hardened steel nails?

No, these are general-duty pliers. Cutting hardened materials can chip the induction-hardened edges of the diagonal cutters.

Are the handles insulated?

The handles feature a heavy-duty soft grip for comfort, but they do not provide electrical insulation protection.

What material are these pliers made of?

They are constructed from carbon steel that has been hardened and tempered for durability.

How should I clean the soft grip handles?

Wipe the handles with a damp cloth and mild soap if they become greasy. Avoid using harsh chemical solvents that might degrade the rubberized material.

Troubleshooting

Pliers become stiff and hard to open/close

Apply a drop of lightweight machine oil to the pivot point and work the jaws back and forth to distribute the lubricant.

Cutting edges are not producing clean cuts

Inspect the edges for nicks. Avoid cutting materials harder than the pliers are rated for, such as hardened steel wire or nails.

Surface rust appears on the head

Use a fine-grit abrasive pad or wire brush to gently remove rust, then apply a protective coating of light machine oil or wax.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable carbon steel construction
  • Comfortable soft-grip handles for extended use
  • Corrosion-resistant matt nickel finish
  • Versatile range for general household maintenance
  • Precise induction-hardened cutting surfaces

Cons

  • Not intended for heavy-duty industrial or professional use
  • Limited to 160mm size configurations
  • Carbon steel may require light oiling if exposed to extreme moisture

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These tools arrive ready to use out of the packaging. No complex setup or calibration is required. To ensure the longevity of your Draper pliers, follow these care guidelines:

  1. Cleaning: Wipe the tools clean with a dry cloth after use to remove metal shavings, oil, or debris.
  2. Lubrication: Periodically apply a light machine oil to the pivot joint to keep the opening and closing motion smooth.
  3. Storage: Store in a dry, cool location to prevent surface oxidation.
  4. Usage Limits: Avoid using these pliers for tightening or loosening bolts as a substitute for a spanner, as this can damage the jaws. Do not use on high-voltage live electrical circuits.
