AWTools AW32301 plier is a compact hand tool weighing 720 g designed for gripping, bending and holding tasks. Made of forged carbon steel with a black finish and jaws angled 45° from the axis, this plier provides mechanical advantage for controlled manual work. The anti-slip, plastic-coated handles improve hold and reduce slippage during use. The tool is intended for general-purpose workshop tasks including mechanical, electrical and household repairs, as well as sheet metal shaping in roofing and automotive bodywork.

Advantages

The forged carbon steel construction offers durability and resistance to deformation under load while the black finish provides surface protection against corrosion and wear. Jaws angled 45° enhance access in tight spaces and allow more ergonomic wrist positioning during bending and gripping operations. Plastic-coated anti-slip handles increase user control and comfort, and the plier’s compact form factor makes it portable and easy to store in a toolbox or on a workbench.

Suitable for

• Gripping and holding small to medium components during assembly
• Bending and forming sheet metal in roofing and bodywork tasks
• General mechanical and electrical repair work
• Household maintenance and DIY projects requiring manual force

Key specifications

• Material: forged carbon steel with black protective finish
• Weight: 720 g
• Jaw angle: 45° from the handle axis
• Handle: anti-slip plastic coating
• Type: general-purpose plier for gripping, bending and holding

How to use

Position the jaws around the workpiece at the appropriate place for gripping or bending, keeping the wrist aligned with the angled jaws to maintain control. Apply steady manual force to close the handles and perform the required grip, bend or hold operation. Use the angled jaw orientation to reach confined areas or to obtain a specific bending angle on sheet metal. After use, wipe the tool clean and store it in a dry place to protect the finish.

Usage recommendations

For safe and effective use, choose the AWTools AW32301 plier when work requires a compact, robust tool for manual shaping and holding. Avoid using the plier on hardened fasteners or as a hammer. Regularly inspect the jaws and handle coating for wear; lubricate the joint if movement becomes stiff and keep the plier dry to prolong the protective finish.
