AWTools AW31250BL Profile Shaping Pliers 210mm with 80x35mm Jaws Black Line

The AWTools AW31250BL profile shaping pliers from the Black Line series are professional-grade hand tools engineered for the precise bending and shaping of metal profiles. With a total length of 210mm and specialized 80x35mm jaws, these pliers offer the necessary leverage and control required for demanding metalworking applications. Built for durability, they are a reliable choice for professionals who require consistent performance in workshop, construction, and roofing environments.

Advantages

These profile shaping pliers are constructed from high-quality materials to ensure long-term resistance to wear and mechanical stress. The ergonomic design of the Black Line series allows for comfortable handling during repetitive tasks, reducing user fatigue. The wide 80x35mm jaw surface provides a stable grip on sheet metal, enabling clean and accurate bends without damaging the material surface. Their robust construction makes them an essential tool for maintaining precision in heavy-duty metal fabrication projects.

Suitable for

• Bending and shaping metal profiles
• Sheet metal fabrication tasks
• Roofing and flashing installation
• Construction and metalwork assembly

When it may not be suitable

These pliers are specifically designed for metal profile shaping and may not be suitable for cutting thick steel rods or heavy-duty wire. They are also not intended for electrical work, as they lack the necessary insulation for high-voltage environments.

Key specifications

• Tool length: 210mm
• Jaw dimensions: 80x35mm
• Series: Black Line
• Material: Hardened steel

How to use

To use the AWTools profile shaping pliers, position the metal profile between the 80x35mm jaws at the desired bending point. Apply steady, even pressure to the handles to fold or shape the metal to the required angle. Ensure the jaws are fully seated against the material to achieve a uniform bend and prevent slippage. Adjust the grip as necessary to refine the shape or to perform multiple bends along the length of the profile.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the jaw width is compatible with the size of the profiles you intend to work with.
• Ensure the tool is used only on compatible metal thicknesses to prevent jaw deformation.
• Consider the workspace requirements, as the 210mm length is designed for manual operation.

Usage recommendations

Always wear appropriate protective gloves and eye protection when working with sheet metal to prevent injuries from sharp edges. Keep the tool clean and lightly oiled to maintain smooth operation of the pivot point.
