Pliers EPM E-400-0003 200 mm — combination pliers, 200mm length

EPM E-400-0003 combination pliers, 200 mm length, are compact hand tools designed for general gripping, bending and cutting tasks. The tool combines a standard serrated jaw for secure holding with an integrated cutting edge suitable for soft and medium-hard wires. Its 200 mm overall length provides a balance between leverage and precise handling, making it convenient for workshop, household and maintenance applications where controlled force and access to confined areas are required.

Advantages

The pliers offer a compact design that facilitates work in tight spaces while still delivering sufficient mechanical advantage for common gripping and cutting operations. Hardened cutting edges extend service life when cutting copper, aluminum and general purpose steel wire within their capacity. Ergonomically shaped handles improve grip and control during repetitive tasks, and the robust hinge ensures consistent jaw alignment over time.

Suitable for

• General gripping and holding of small components
• Bending and shaping soft metal strips and wires
• Cutting soft to medium-hard electrical and mechanical wires
• Workshop repairs, household maintenance and light mechanical work

Key specifications

• Overall length: 200 mm
• Tool type: combination pliers (grip and cutting functions)
• Jaw style: serrated gripping surface
• Cutting edge: hardened for wire cutting
• Handle: ergonomically shaped for improved control
• Typical materials worked: copper, aluminum, general purpose steel within cutting capacity

How to use

Position the serrated jaw on the object to be gripped, applying steady hand pressure to hold or bend parts. For cutting, place the wire as close to the hinge as practical to maximize cutting force, then squeeze the handles evenly until the wire is severed. Use controlled, steady motions and avoid twisting the tool during cutting to preserve the cutting edge. Inspect the hinge and cutting edge periodically and remove debris or wire fragments to maintain smooth operation.

Usage recommendations

Use these pliers for routine gripping, bending and cutting of soft and medium-hard wires. Do not use the tool on hardened or tempered steel beyond its cutting capacity, and avoid using the jaws as a hammer or prying device. Wear eye protection when cutting wires and follow standard safety practices for hand tools to extend tool life and ensure safe operation.
