Pliers NEO Tools 01-011 180 mm – universal combination pliers, forged steel, insulated handles

NEO Tools universal combination pliers 01-011 (180 mm) are hand pliers designed for gripping, cutting and twisting wires and small components. Forged from steel, the tool offers a balance of strength and controlled weight for general maintenance, electrical and plumbing tasks. The insulated, non-slip handles provide improved grip and handling comfort during repetitive operations and when working in confined spaces.

Advantages

Forged steel construction ensures mechanical durability and consistent jaw alignment. The cutting edge is integrated into the jaw geometry to allow clean cuts on soft and medium-hard wires. Insulated, ergonomically shaped handles reduce slipping and increase user control. The 180 mm length gives a compromise between accessibility in tight spots and sufficient leverage for cutting and bending operations.

Suitable for

• Gripping and holding small parts during assembly and repair
• Cutting copper and aluminium wires of typical household and workshop gauges
• Bending and twisting wires for electrical and installation tasks
• General maintenance, plumbing adjustments and DIY repairs

Key specifications

• Type: combination (multi-purpose) pliers
• Length: 180 mm
• Material: forged steel
• Handles: insulated, non-slip ergonomic design
• Functions: gripping, cutting, twisting
• Finish: industrial protective treatment for corrosion resistance

How to use

Position the jaws around the object or wire to be gripped, aligning the cutting edge if a cut is required. Apply steady pressure to the handles for gripping or cutting, using body weight and wrist motion for additional leverage when necessary. For twisting or bending, hold the workpiece close to the jaw pivot to maximise control. Maintain a firm, comfortable grip on the insulated handles and keep fingers clear of the jaw area during operation.

Usage recommendations

Use the pliers within their intended mechanical limits: avoid cutting hardened steel or materials beyond the tool’s capacity, and do not use as a hammer or pry bar. Regularly inspect the cutting edge and jaws for wear, and keep the tool clean and lightly oiled to prevent corrosion. When performing electrical work, verify that the insulation rating meets the safety requirements for live circuits and follow appropriate safety procedures.
