Shaping Pliers AWTools AW31252BL, bent jaws 210 mm, jaw size 80×35 mm

AWTools Shaping Pliers AW31252BL are 210 mm long hand pliers with bent jaws measuring 80×35 mm, designed for forming and bending profiles and sheet metal edges. The bent-jaw geometry and compact length provide controlled leverage for precise shaping, clamping and adjusting of metal sections. This manual shaping plier is intended for metalworking tasks where accurate bends and profile finishing are required, including fabrication, HVAC and automotive sheet metal operations.

Advantages

The bent jaws and 80×35 mm jaw size allow access to tight areas and create consistent bends along edges. At 210 mm overall length the pliers balance reach and control for precision work. The tool is suitable for controlled manual shaping without the need for power equipment, offering tactile feedback and immediate adjustment during forming tasks. Durable construction from hardened jaws supports repeated bending and holding of sheet metal and small profiles.

Suitable for

• Forming and bending sheet metal edges and profiles
• Precision shaping and finishing of metal sections in HVAC and automotive work
• Clamping and aligning small metal components during fabrication
• Manual adjustments and final shaping in metalworking and repair tasks

Key specifications

• Overall length: 210 mm
• Jaw geometry: bent (angled) jaws for access to confined areas
• Jaw size: 80 × 35 mm (working surface dimensions)
• Intended use: manual shaping, bending, clamping and finishing of sheet metal and profiles
• Operation: handheld, non-powered tool for controlled manual forming

How to use

Position the bent jaws around the edge or profile to be shaped so the working surfaces contact the metal evenly. Apply steady manual force to bend or clamp the material, using the pliers as a lever for controlled forming. For repeated or longer bends, move the tool along the edge incrementally to maintain a consistent radius. Use tactile feedback to avoid over-bending and to achieve the desired profile finish. Inspect the workpiece during shaping and make small adjustments as needed.

Usage recommendations

For best results, use the pliers on material thicknesses appropriate for hand tools and avoid forcing extremely thick or hardened steels. Wear suitable hand protection and eye protection when shaping sheet metal. Clean and inspect the jaws regularly to ensure even contact and replace the tool if jaws become excessively worn or damaged.
