Insulated Long Straight Pliers 160 mm EPM E-400-0036

Insulated Long Straight Pliers 160 mm EPM E-400-0036 are precision hand tools designed for gripping, bending and manipulating conductors and small components in electrical installation, maintenance and repair tasks. With a 160 mm overall length and long straight jaws, these pliers provide extended reach and access to confined spaces while insulated handles reduce the risk of accidental contact with live parts. The tool is intended for professional and DIY use where controlled gripping and precise wire handling are required.

Advantages

The long straight jaws allow precise access to narrow or deep work areas and improve control when bending or positioning wires. Insulated handles provide a protective barrier for work near energized circuits and enhance user safety during proximity work. The 160 mm compact length balances reach and maneuverability, making the pliers suitable for both detailed tasks and operations in limited space. Hardened jaw surfaces ensure reliable gripping and extended tool life under regular use.

Suitable for

• Gripping and bending copper and aluminium conductors
• Manipulating small components in switchboards and junction boxes
• Reaching confined or recessed connector points
• Routine electrical installation, maintenance and repair jobs

Key specifications

• Overall length: 160 mm
• Jaw style: long straight jaws for extended reach
• Handle type: insulated handles for work near live parts
• Primary functions: gripping, bending and manipulating conductors and small parts
• Suitable working environment: electrical installation and maintenance contexts

How to use

Before use, verify that the insulation on the handles is intact and free of cuts or damage. Use the pliers to grip conductors close to the jaw for controlled bending or to hold small components while fastening. Apply steady force to avoid slippage and reposition the tool as needed to maintain leverage. When working near live circuits, follow safe work practices: keep fingers behind the insulated grips, use appropriate personal protective equipment, and isolate circuits where possible.

Usage recommendations

Regularly inspect the tool for wear or damage and avoid using it on live circuits unless it is rated and certified for live work. Clean the jaws after use to prevent corrosion and store the pliers in a dry place. Use the pliers within their intended mechanical limits and combine with appropriate insulated tools and personal protective equipment for electrical tasks.
