Pliers AWTools AW31056, weight 190 g, general-purpose hand pliers

AWTools AW31056 pliers are a general-purpose hand tool weighing 190 g, designed for gripping, bending, holding and light cutting tasks. Made of durable, high-quality carbon steel and properly hardened, these pliers combine strength with a compact form factor suitable for household repairs, small assembly jobs and routine maintenance that require precision and control. The serrated jaws and profiled wire blades ensure a secure grip on materials while the hardened cutting edges deliver clean and accurate cuts. PVC coated handles provide a comfortable, non-slip grip during repeated use.

Advantages

The tool’s hardened carbon steel construction offers resistance to wear and reliable performance in everyday tasks. Serrated jaws with profiled wire blades improve grip on round and flat materials, reducing slippage during twisting or bending. Hardened cutting edges facilitate accurate cutting of wire and cable without deforming the material. Lightweight and compact, the pliers are easy to handle and store. PVC coated handles increase user comfort and provide a better hold during precision operations.

Suitable for

• Household repairs and maintenance
• Light mechanical and DIY assembly work
• Gripping, twisting and bending wires and small components
• Cutting thin wires and cables
• Routine electrical and craft tasks requiring precision

Key specifications

• Tool type: general-purpose hand pliers
• Weight: 190 g
• Material: high-quality carbon steel, hardened
• Jaws: serrated with profiled wire blades for secure grip
• Cutting edges: hardened for clean, accurate cuts
• Handles: PVC coated for non-slip grip
• Typical uses: gripping, bending, holding, cutting wire and cable

How to use

Select the appropriate grip position and place the jaws around the workpiece so the serrated surfaces engage the material. For bending or twisting, hold the workpiece firmly near the jaws and apply steady force; for cutting, position the wire between the hardened cutting edges and squeeze the handles evenly until the cut is complete. Maintain a controlled hand position and avoid overloading the pliers beyond their intended light-duty use to preserve the cutting edge and overall tool geometry.

Usage recommendations

For best results, use the pliers within their intended light-duty range: avoid cutting hardened bolts or large-diameter cables. Keep the cutting edges clean and occasionally lubricate the joint to ensure smooth operation. Store in a dry place to prevent corrosion and inspect the PVC handle coating for damage before use.
