BOXER flat nose pliers 160 mm, CR.V steel, model 31608

BOXER flat nose pliers 160 mm, model 31608, are hand pliers with flat, tapered jaws designed for precise gripping, bending and holding of small components, wires and sheet material. Constructed from chromium-vanadium (CR.V) steel, these 160 mm pliers combine a compact length with a robust steel body to provide stability and repeatable performance for electrical, mechanical and general repair tasks.

Advantages

The flat, parallel jaws deliver secure contact across small surfaces, enabling accurate bending and positioning without excessive marking. CR.V steel construction improves strength and wear resistance while maintaining edge stability and durability for frequent use. The 160 mm length balances accessibility in confined spaces with sufficient leverage for controlled force application. The tapering jaw profile supports fine work on wires, terminals and small sheet parts.

Suitable for

• Gripping and manipulating small components and pins
• Bending and shaping wires and thin sheet metal
• Holding parts steady during assembly or soldering
• Electrical, mechanical and general maintenance tasks

Key specifications

• Overall length: 160 mm
• Jaw type: flat, tapered, parallel-faced
• Material: chromium-vanadium (CR.V) steel
• Intended use: gripping, bending and holding small parts and wire

How to use

Position the flat jaws around the component, wire or sheet edge to achieve full contact along the parallel faces. Apply controlled pressure on the handles to grip securely or to bend the material; use the tapered tip for more precise placement or to reach tighter areas. For repeated tasks, align the workpiece in the same jaw position to maintain consistent results. Do not use the pliers on hardened fasteners or as a hammer.

Usage recommendations

For safety and tool longevity, inspect the jaws before use and avoid excessive twisting or prying motions. Use appropriate personal protective equipment when working with sharp or springy materials, and store the pliers in a dry place to reduce corrosion.
