Pliers ASTAR S041-2000/40RV-6 — high-leverage hand pliers, manual cutting and gripping tool

ASTAR S041-2000/40RV-6 — high-leverage hand pliers are a manual cutting and gripping tool designed for precision tasks in electrical, repair and assembly work. These pliers combine a hardened cutting edge and serrated jaws to grip, bend and trim wires, pins and small components. The tool’s high-leverage design reduces hand effort when cutting or twisting metal, making it suitable for repetitive workshop tasks and detailed hobby work.

Advantages

The high-leverage mechanism offers increased mechanical advantage for cutting and gripping, improving control and reducing fatigue. Hardened cutting edges deliver clean cuts on soft and medium-hard wire while serrated gripping surfaces prevent slippage during forming or twisting operations. Ergonomic handles provide a secure hold and better torque transfer for accurate manipulation of components. The compact head and precise tips support work in confined spaces and close-tolerance assemblies.

Suitable for

• Cutting and trimming copper and aluminium wires
• Gripping, bending and forming small metal parts and pins
• Electrical repair, cable preparation and connector work
• General workshop tasks, maintenance and hobby electronics

Key specifications

• Tool type: high-leverage combination pliers for cutting and gripping
• Cutting capability: manual cutting of soft to medium-hard wires and copper or aluminium conductors
• Jaw design: serrated gripping area with hardened cutting edge
• Handle: ergonomically shaped for secure grip and improved torque transfer
• Size and reach: compact head for access in confined spaces (suitable for precision work)

How to use

Hold the pliers by the insulated handles with a firm but comfortable grip. Position the workpiece between the cutting edges or inside the serrated jaws according to the task: use the cutting edge for trimming wires and the serrated area for gripping or bending. Apply controlled force to the handles until the cut is complete or the desired bend is achieved. For repetitive cuts, adjust hand position to maintain comfort and accuracy. Inspect the cutting edge before use to ensure clean results.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment, such as safety glasses, and ensure the pliers are used only on materials within their cutting capability. Avoid applying excessive force on hardened steel or materials beyond the specified use to prevent damage. Keep the tool clean and store in a dry place to maintain cutting performance and longevity.
