HOGERT HT1P380 Clamping Pliers 250 mm, Jaw Capacity 0–40 mm, CrV

Locking pliers with rounded jaws designed for gripping workpieces of various shapes — round, oval and profiled. The tool has a 250 mm overall length and a jaw opening range suitable for clamping diameters up to 40 mm.

Advantages

Jaws forged from chrome-vanadium alloy steel provide high strength and wear resistance. Hardened, serrated gripping surfaces ensure secure hold on smooth and irregular surfaces. A three-point pivot connection to the body improves force distribution and stability during clamping. An adjustment screw allows precise control of clamping force and jaw opening, while an insulated locking lever increases user safety. An integrated wire cutter adds multifunctional convenience.

Suitable for

• Holding and clamping round, oval and profiled metal or plastic parts
• Temporary fastening during welding, assembly or repair work
• Gripping small pipes, rods and workpieces with diameters up to 40 mm

When it may not be suitable

This tool is not intended for precision machining where micrometric alignment is required. It may be less effective on very soft materials that can be damaged by serrated jaws or on extremely hard, hardened surfaces that exceed the tool's gripping capacity.

Key specifications

• Overall length: 250 mm
• Jaw opening / clamping capacity: 0–40 mm
• Material of jaws: chrome-vanadium (CrV) alloy steel, forged
• Jaw surface: hardened, serrated
• Connection: three-point pivot to body
• Adjustment: screw for clamping force and jaw opening
• Features: insulated locking lever, built-in wire cutter

How to use

Adjust the screw to set the approximate jaw opening for the workpiece, position the rounded jaws around the part, then squeeze the handles until the locking lever engages. Use the adjustment screw to fine-tune the clamping pressure. To release, press the insulated locking lever. The built-in wire cutter can be used for cutting soft wires by placing them near the cutter zone and applying steady pressure.

What to consider before purchase

• Required maximum clamping diameter — up to 40 mm for this model
• Material of the workpieces and whether serrated jaws are suitable
• Need for additional functions such as wire cutting or insulated handle

Usage recommendations

Inspect jaws and cutting edge before use; avoid excessive torque that may damage the tool or the workpiece. Use appropriate personal protective equipment when clamping hot or sharp items.
