Plier Proline 17393, 260 mm length, hand tool

Proline 17393 plier is a 260 mm hand tool designed for gripping, bending and cutting tasks. The tool features a 60 mm wide jaw and standard-length handles that provide reach and leverage for general mechanical, electrical and household work. Built for workshop use, maintenance, repair tasks and hobby projects, this plier combines a compact jaw profile with a full-length body to handle a range of manual operations.

Advantages

The 260 mm length delivers additional reach and mechanical advantage while remaining manageable for one-handed use. A 60 mm wide jaw offers a stable contact area for holding flat and irregular parts. The robust construction and ergonomic handle shape are intended to increase control during gripping and bending actions. The plier is versatile across multiple task types and is suited to repeated use in workshop and maintenance environments.

Suitable for

• Gripping and holding metal parts during assembly or repair
• Bending wires, small metal sheets and brackets
• Cutting softer wires and trimming material in light-duty tasks
• General mechanical and electrical maintenance
• Workshop projects and DIY/hobby work

Key specifications

• Overall length: 260 mm
• Jaw width: 60 mm
• Primary functions: gripping, bending, cutting
• Handle type: standard ergonomic handles for manual operation
• Intended use: mechanical, electrical, household maintenance and workshop tasks

How to use

Position the jaws around the workpiece ensuring the contact area is centered on the 60 mm jaw surface for stable grip. Apply steady pressure on the handles to perform gripping or bending operations; use the leverage provided by the 260 mm length for tasks requiring extra force. For cutting, place the material as deep as possible into the cutting section of the jaws and squeeze the handles evenly. Maintain a controlled motion and avoid using excessive force beyond the tool's intended light- to medium-duty capability.

Usage recommendations

Inspect the plier before each use for signs of wear, deformation or damaged handles. Use appropriate personal protective equipment (gloves, eye protection) when cutting or bending metal. Avoid prying or striking hard materials with the jaws to prevent damage. Clean and lightly lubricate the pivot periodically to maintain smooth operation and store the tool in a dry place to reduce corrosion risk.
