Pliers faster tools Knaibles FASTER TOOLS 03-9-5422 175 mm, 175mm cutting/gripping pliers

Hand pliers FASTER TOOLS model 03-9-5422 with a 175 mm overall length are designed for general gripping and cutting tasks in household, workshop and professional environments. The compact 175 mm size provides access in confined spaces while enabling controlled leverage for cutting soft and medium-hard wires, bending small components and securely holding parts during assembly or repair. Durable construction and ergonomic profile support repeated manual work and daily use.

Advantages

The pliers combine a short, maneuverable jaw with a cutting edge positioned close to the pivot to maximize cutting force in a small tool. Hardened cutting edges maintain sharpness for consistent performance, and the compact length improves reach in tight assemblies. A well-balanced weight distribution and comfortable handles reduce hand fatigue during repetitive tasks. The design supports both gripping and light cutting operations without the need for multiple tools.

Suitable for

• Cutting and stripping soft electrical wires and cables
• Gripping, bending and positioning small metal parts and pins
• Workshop assembly, maintenance and repair tasks
• Hobby and DIY projects requiring a compact cutting/gripping tool

Key specifications

• Overall length: 175 mm
• Function: combined gripping and cutting
• Cutting edge: hardened for durability and consistent cutting
• Jaw type: short jaw for access in confined spaces
• Handle: ergonomic profile for improved grip and control
• Construction: robust metal body for repeated manual use

How to use

Hold the pliers by the handles with a comfortable grip so the jaw aligns with the workpiece. For cutting, position the wire as close to the pivot as possible to use maximum leverage, then squeeze the handles evenly until the wire is severed. For gripping or bending, place the component between the jaws and apply steady force, repositioning as necessary to achieve the required angle or hold. After use, wipe the tool clean and store it in a dry place to prevent corrosion.

Usage recommendations

Use the pliers for soft to medium-hard materials; avoid cutting hardened steel or piano wire which may damage the cutting edge. Regularly inspect the cutting edge for wear and apply light lubrication to the pivot to maintain smooth operation. Wear appropriate hand protection when working with sharp or energized conductors.
