up to 400 N/mm2 (25 long tons/sq.in.) tensile strength
for cutting
for angle forming & flattening
for sealing operations
for pressing
for mounting clamps
Hand-held Pliers for the use of:
cutting Cu, Al, Be, Ag, PVC-/PF plastics and steel max. 400 N/mm2 / 25 long tons/sq.in.
simultaneous cutting and wire-end flattening or
simultaneous cutting and 90° angle forming of wire ends of electronic components
sealing operations
pressing of cable joints
mounting CLIC, hose or spring clamps
Their favourable weight/dimension to power ratio makes them very handy and easy to work.
The pliers inserts can be operated in each cutting position by turning the complete plier head against plier body and valve lever.
The models 48-401/-551/-601 are secured additionally against unintentional operation.
The legs of the pliers inserts are separately supported in the plier’s head and therefore extremely easy to operate.
Plier Inserts for cutting are available in two types:
standard execution for cutting metals. One Insert side has an edge for cutting, the other Insert side is designed as a counter-holder. This eliminates a possible crossing of the Inserts and thus extensive wear of the Insert joint. When cutting soft, flowing materials, an overlapping of the Inserts results in uneven cuts or nicks.
special execution for cutting PVC+PF plastics Both Insert sides are equipped with a cutting edge.
