Plier NEO tools 01-253 — 180 mm length, 230 g weight

NEO tools 01-253 is a straight elongated plier 180 mm long and weighing 230 g, designed for gripping, bending and cutting tasks in maintenance, light assembly and electrical work. Constructed from hardened carbon steel with a two-component ergonomic handle, these pliers combine compact size for access in confined spaces with features that protect fasteners and conductors during handling. The jaw geometry includes a special opening to hold nails and cables without crushing them and a toothed surface to assist loosening screws and small nuts; bracing plates allow comfortable one-handed operation.

Advantages

The hardened carbon steel construction delivers durability and wear resistance for frequent use. The two-component handle with rubberised surface improves grip and reduces slippage during precision tasks. A dedicated jaw opening protects soft materials such as cables and nails from deformation while the toothed gripping surface helps with turning and loosening small threaded parts. The 180 mm length offers a balance between reach and control, suitable for confined spaces and routine workshop activities.

Suitable for

• Gripping, bending and cutting in maintenance and light assembly
• Electrical and technician tasks where mid-size pliers are required
• DIY projects and household repairs
• Working in confined spaces where a compact tool is needed

Key specifications

• Overall length: 180 mm
• Weight: 230 g
• Material: hardened carbon steel jaws
• Handle: two-component design with rubberised surface for improved grip
• Jaw features: special opening for nails and cables, toothed gripping surface
• Operation: bracing plates for convenient one-handed use

How to use

Hold the pliers by the ergonomic handle and position the jaws around the target object. Use the toothed section for gripping nuts, screws or metal parts and the special opening to hold nails, cables or soft conductors without crushing them. Apply controlled pressure for bending or pulling tasks; use one hand where the bracing plates are employed to stabilise the tool. For cutting or trimming, ensure the material is within the intended capacity of the pliers and keep fingers clear of the cutting area.

Usage recommendations

Inspect the pliers regularly for wear or damage, especially at the jaw edges and hinge. Clean and lubricate the pivot periodically to maintain smooth operation. Use the pliers for their intended tasks—gripping, bending and light cutting—and avoid prying or cutting hardened materials beyond the tool's capacity to prevent damage.
