Pliers AWTools AW31102 — general-purpose pliers, weight 270 g

AWTools AW31102 — general-purpose pliers weighing 270 g. Made of CrV steel with a ground and polished working part, these pliers combine a hardened, serrated jaw for precise gripping with precision cutting edges capable of handling both soft and hard wire. The ergonomic two-component non-slip insulated VDE handles are designed for safe manual operation and allow use in high-voltage environments up to 1000 V. Compact and robust, the AWTools AW31102 suits common workshop, household and repair tasks where reliable gripping, bending, cutting and stripping are required.

Advantages

The construction from CrV steel and heat-treated jaws ensures long-term durability and resistance to wear. Ground and polished working surfaces reduce friction and improve contact precision. Hardened, serrated jaws provide secure hold on small and irregular parts, while the precision cutting edges cut both soft and hard wires cleanly. Ergonomic two-component handles deliver a comfortable, non-slip grip and the VDE insulation enables safe work near live circuits up to 1000 V. At 270 g the pliers are lightweight enough for extended manual use and portable for field tasks.

How to use

Hold the AWTools AW31102 pliers by the insulated handles and position the jaws around the object to be gripped, cut or bent. For cutting wires, place the conductor fully into the cutting edge and squeeze steadily to achieve a clean cut. Use the serrated jaw surface to secure small parts while turning or pulling. For insulation stripping, align the cable in the designated stripping area and rotate or pull to remove insulation without damaging the conductor. When working near live circuits, ensure the insulation is intact and the rated voltage limit is not exceeded.

Usage recommendations

Inspect the pliers before each use for damage to the insulation, handle, jaws or cutting edges. Do not use the tool if the VDE insulation is compromised. Use appropriate personal protective equipment when working with electricity or sharp materials. Store the pliers in a dry place to prevent corrosion and maintain cutting performance by sharpening or replacing when edges become dull.
