Irwin pliers 7CR 175 mm with oval jaws model 10508018

Irwin pliers 7CR 175 mm with oval jaws model 10508018 are hand pliers with a 175 mm overall length and oval-shaped jaws designed for secure gripping, bending and holding operations. Manufactured to Irwin's standards, these pliers combine a solid forged body and precision-machined jaws to offer dependable mechanical performance for general workshop, maintenance and manual assembly tasks.

Advantages

The oval jaws provide a larger contact area for improved grip on rounded, flat and irregular surfaces, reducing slippage while handling components. The 175 mm length balances working reach and hand control, making the pliers suitable for confined spaces as well as general bench use. Robust construction ensures consistent jaw alignment and long-term durability under regular mechanical use.

Suitable for

• Gripping and holding pipes, rods and fasteners
• Bending and forming small metal parts and wire
• Manual assembly and component positioning in repair work
• General maintenance tasks in workshops and construction sites

Key specifications

• Overall length: 175 mm
• Jaw shape: oval-profile jaws for increased contact area
• Primary functions: gripping, bending, holding
• Material: forged steel construction with precision-machined jaw surfaces
• Handle type: ergonomically shaped handles for manual control (non-powered)

How to use

Position the jaws around the workpiece so the oval surfaces make full contact, then apply steady hand pressure to grip or bend as required. For holding or aligning components, clamp firmly but avoid excessive force that could damage the part or the tool. Use the pliers for manual tasks only—do not use as a hammer or in powered tools. Regularly inspect jaw faces for wear and clean after use to maintain reliable performance.

Usage recommendations

Choose these pliers when you need a reliable hand tool for gripping irregular or rounded items and for controlled bending operations. For wire cutting or heavy-duty leverage work, use the appropriate cutters or larger specialty pliers to avoid damaging the tool or the workpiece.
