Plier AWTools AW22105, weight 470 g

AWTools AW22105 plier is a general-purpose hand tool weighing 470 g, designed for gripping, bending and cutting small- to medium-sized materials. Forged from CrV steel and hardened for durability, this compact plier combines a curved jaw profile with a high-leverage design to provide controlled manual handling and effective cutting performance. The tool includes an insulation-stripping function and TPR-coated non-slip handles for a secure grip during workshop, construction and DIY tasks.

Advantages

The forged and hardened CrV steel construction ensures strength and wear resistance, while the curved jaw allows fast and precise cutting actions. High leverage geometry amplifies cutting force, making it suitable for single- and multi-core copper and aluminium cable. TPR handle coating improves grip comfort and reduces slippage during use. The integrated insulation stripping feature and compact size make the plier versatile for installation, assembly and repair operations.

How to use

Position the plier jaws around the workpiece for gripping or around the conductor to be cut, ensuring the curved jaws align with the intended cut line. Apply steady pressure on the handles to activate the high-leverage cutting action. For stripping insulation, place the conductor in the designated stripping notch and rotate or pull the insulation away according to wire diameter and insulation type. Use controlled force and stable hand positioning to avoid damage to conductors or surrounding components.

Usage recommendations

Use the plier only on copper and aluminium conductors as specified. Avoid cutting hardened steel or materials outside the recommended types to prevent blade damage. Keep hands and handles clean and dry for secure grip; inspect the tool regularly for wear or deformation. Store in a dry place to protect the CrV steel from corrosion and maintain sharpness and performance.
