Pliers AWTools AW31107, weight 290 g, general-purpose hand pliers

AWTools AW31107 pliers are general-purpose hand pliers engineered for gripping, bending and cutting in workshop and household environments. The tool weighs 290 g and combines a compact, narrow-head profile with a robust working part made of chrome-vanadium (CrV) steel, with ground and polished surfaces for consistent performance. Precision cutting edges handle both soft and hard wire while the ergonomic two-component non-slip handles provide insulated protection for work in higher-voltage environments up to 1000 V.

Advantages

The AW31107 offers a balance of durability and precision: CrV steel construction ensures wear resistance and edge retention, while the ground and polished working part reduces friction during cutting and gripping. Narrow head geometry improves access in confined spaces. Insulated VDE-rated two-component handles enhance user safety during electrical work and provide a secure, comfortable grip for extended use. Integrated wire-stripping function and precise cutting edges expand the tool's versatility for multiple tasks.

Suitable for

• Cutting and stripping electrical wires and cables
• Gripping and bending small metal parts, pins and connectors
• Cutting soft and hard wire, nails or screws to size
• Maintenance and repair tasks in workshops and at home
• Electrical work where insulation up to 1000 V is required

How to use

Hold the AWTools AW31107 by the insulated handles and position the narrow head around the workpiece for gripping, bending or cutting. For cutting, place the wire between the precision cutting edges near the pivot and apply steady pressure for a clean cut. Use the wire-stripping function by aligning the conductor with the appropriate notch or portion of the jaws and pulling the insulation away from the conductor while keeping steady pressure. When working on electrical circuits, verify that the circuit is de-energized where possible and use the insulation rating appropriately.

Usage recommendations

Inspect the tool before use for damage to the insulation or cutting edges. Do not use the pliers on live circuits above the rated 1000 V. Keep cutting edges clean and free of debris; periodically lubricate the pivot for smooth operation and sharpen or replace the tool when cutting performance degrades.
