Pliers ORBIS SHARP Curved Pliers model 17-1600/20RR, MPN 17-1600/40RV

ORBIS SHARP Curved Pliers model 17-1600/20RR are precision curved-handle pliers designed for gripping, bending and cutting operations in workshop, maintenance and repair environments. The curved jaw profile improves access and visibility in confined or awkward spaces, allowing users to apply controlled leverage on components, wire and small metal parts. These pliers are intended for general metalworking and mechanical tasks where a curved tool profile provides better approach angles than straight pliers.

Advantages

The curved design offers improved visibility and reach when working around obstructions, while the ergonomic handles support stable grip and controlled force transmission. Hardened jaws and cutting edges provide durable performance for repeated gripping and light cutting tasks. The tool is balanced for precision work and reduces the need for repositioning in narrow spaces.

Suitable for

• Gripping and manipulating small parts in maintenance and repair
• Bending and shaping wire or thin metal components
• Cutting soft wire and cable ties in workshop settings
• Accessing fasteners and clips in confined or recessed areas

Key specifications

• Tool type: curved-handled combination pliers with gripping and cutting functions
• Jaw profile: curved for improved access and angle of approach
• Intended applications: general metalworking, mechanical maintenance and repair
• Handle style: ergonomic for controlled grip and leverage
• Material properties: hardened jaws and cutting edges for wear resistance

How to use

Position the curved jaws around the component, wire or fastener so the bend of the jaws provides the best approach angle. Apply steady pressure through the handles to grip or bend the workpiece; for cutting tasks, place the wire close to the cutting edge and squeeze the handles firmly and evenly. Use controlled, measured force rather than impact or twisting to avoid damaging the tool or the workpiece. Inspect the cutting edges and gripping surfaces regularly and keep the tool clean and dry after use.

Usage recommendations

Use the pliers for tasks within their designed capacity: gripping, bending and light cutting of soft to medium-hard wires and small components. Avoid using the tool on hardened bolts, heavy-gauge steel or as a hammer. Regularly check for wear on the cutting edges and maintain a clean, lightly oiled pivot to ensure smooth operation.
