The tool features plastic handles for comfortable operation and compact dimensions (180 mm × 43 mm × 14 mm) that suit workshop and on-site use.

Advantages

Smooth jaws provide full-surface contact with parallel parts, allowing high clamping pressure without marking soft surfaces. The compact 180 mm body and slim jaw profile enable access in confined spaces. Plastic handles improve grip comfort during repeated use. The plier's design permits use as a small vice and for a variety of manual operations where controlled pressure is required.

How to use

Open the plier jaws and position them on the parallel surfaces or nut you need to grip. Squeeze the handles evenly until the smooth jaws make full contact; increase pressure as required for tightening or pressing tasks. For adhesive activation, hold steady pressure over the joint area for the recommended time. Use the plier as a small vice by clamping lightweight parts between the jaws while performing assembly or finishing operations.

Usage recommendations

Do not use the pliers on hot or energized components. Avoid applying excessive torque beyond manual capacity to prevent tool or workpiece damage. Regularly inspect the smooth jaw faces for wear and clean them to maintain full-surface contact and prevent marring delicate materials.
