Pliers Forsage F-108 universal combination pliers 200 mm, 8Cr-V steel

Forsage F-108 universal combination pliers, 200 mm, are multi-purpose hand tools made from 8Cr-V tool steel and designed for gripping, bending and cutting tasks in mechanical, electrical and general repair work. The pliers combine flat and round jaws for secure holding and a cutting edge suitable for cutting soft and medium-hard wires. With a 200 mm overall length they balance reach and leverage for workshop and field use.

Advantages

The 8Cr-V tool steel construction provides increased durability and wear resistance compared to common carbon steels, ensuring a longer service life under regular use. The combination jaw geometry allows versatile gripping of flat, round and irregular parts while the integrated cutting edge handles wire cutting without requiring a separate tool. The 200 mm length offers good leverage for bending and cutting while remaining compact enough for confined spaces.

Suitable for

• Gripping and holding nuts, bolts and small parts during assembly or disassembly
• Bending or shaping metal wires and small sheet edges
• Cutting electrical and mechanical wires of soft to medium hardness
• General repair and maintenance tasks in workshops, garages and field service

Key specifications

• Tool type: combination pliers for gripping and cutting
• Overall length: 200 mm
• Material: 8Cr-V tool steel
• Jaw design: flat gripping surface and round gripping section for pipe/round parts
• Cutting edge: integrated cutting blade for wires
• Finish: heat-treated steel for hardness and wear resistance

How to use

Position the jaws on the workpiece so the flat or rounded gripping surfaces contact the part to be held. Use the handle length to apply controlled pressure for gripping, bending or twisting. For cutting, place the wire as close to the pivot as possible to use maximum leverage and make a clean cut. Avoid using the cutting edge on hardened steel or materials beyond the tool's design limits to prevent premature edge damage. Keep hands clear of the cutting line and maintain a firm grip on the handles during use.

Usage recommendations

Inspect the pliers before use for signs of wear, cracks or damage to gripping surfaces and the cutting edge. Clean and lightly oil the pivot point periodically to maintain smooth operation. Store the pliers in a dry place to prevent corrosion. For tasks requiring insulated protection, use tools specifically rated for electrical work rather than non-insulated combination pliers.
