Plier AWTools AW31109 — model AW31109, weight 150 kg

AWTools AW31109 — heavy-duty plier with a listed weight of 150 kg, designed for demanding workshop and industrial use. Constructed from chrome-vanadium (CrV) steel, the working part is ground and polished to ensure smooth operation. Hardened and serrated jaws provide secure, slip-resistant gripping while precision cutting edges handle both soft and hard wire. The plier features ergonomic two-component non-slip handles with VDE insulation, rated for work in high-voltage environments up to 1000 V. Integrated functions include cutting of wires, cables, nails and screws, plus an insulation stripping capability for electrical and installation tasks.

Advantages

The combination of CrV steel construction and ground, polished working surfaces increases durability and reduces wear during repeated heavy use. Hardened, serrated jaws offer reliable gripping of round, flat and irregular materials without damaging the workpiece. Precision cutting edges maintain sharpness for clean cuts on soft and hard wire, while the insulated VDE handles provide protection and a secure ergonomic grip during prolonged operations. The multifunctional design merges gripping, cutting and insulation stripping into one tool for efficient workflow.

Suitable for

• Cutting electrical wires and cables in workshop or installation settings
• Gripping and bending metal components, nails and screws
• Working on live or high-voltage equipment up to 1000 V with insulated tools
• General industrial and maintenance tasks requiring a robust, heavy plier
• Stripping insulation during electrical assembly and repair

Key specifications

• Material of working part: chrome-vanadium (CrV) steel, ground and polished
• Jaw finish: hardened and serrated for precision gripping

• Handles: ergonomic two-component, non-slip, VDE insulated
• Insulation rating: safe for use up to 1000 V
• Functions: gripping, cutting, bending, insulation stripping
• Typical applications: wire, cable, nails, screws

How to use

Hold the AWTools AW31109 by its ergonomic insulated handles, positioning the jaws around the workpiece for gripping, cutting or bending operations. For cutting, place the wire close to the cutting edge and apply steady pressure to achieve a clean cut; for harder wires use the appropriate angle to reduce effort. Use the serrated jaws to secure round or irregular parts before bending or pulling. When stripping insulation, engage the insulation stripping feature at the required length and pull the insulation off the conductor carefully. Always verify the tool’s insulation integrity before working on live circuits and follow electrical safety procedures.

Usage recommendations

Inspect the plier regularly for wear on cutting edges and insulation damage. Do not use the tool if the VDE insulation is compromised. For safe electrical work, confirm that the insulation rating meets your task requirements and use appropriate personal protective equipment. Store the plier dry and clean to preserve the ground and polished surfaces and maintain cutting performance.
