Pliers STANLEY Universal 200 mm, slip-joint hand tool, 200mm length

Universal pliers STANLEY 200 mm are a slip-joint hand tool with a total length of 200 mm, designed for gripping, bending and cutting in general maintenance and DIY tasks. The adjustable pivot provides two jaw positions to handle different diameters, while ergonomic handles offer improved control and reduced hand fatigue during repeated use. This compact plier combines versatility with a size that fits standard toolkits for home repairs, workshops and light professional applications.

Advantages

The slip-joint mechanism allows quick adjustment between two jaw positions without additional tools, increasing work speed and flexibility. Hardened jaw surfaces provide reliable grip on round and flat materials, and the integrated cutting edge enables clean snips of soft wires. Ergonomically shaped handles enhance grip security and comfort during extended use, and the 200 mm length balances reach with precise control in confined spaces.

How to use

Select the appropriate jaw position by opening the pliers and sliding the pivot to the desired notch so the jaws align with the diameter of the workpiece. Place the jaws around the object to be gripped or cut, apply even pressure through the handles, and perform the required gripping, bending or cutting action. For cutting, position the wire as close to the pivot as possible for maximum leverage and a cleaner cut. After use, wipe the tool clean and store it in a dry toolbox or on a pegboard to avoid corrosion and maintain alignment.

Usage recommendations

Use the correct jaw position to avoid slippage and excessive wear. Do not use these pliers as a hammer or pry bar. Avoid cutting hardened or high-tensile wires to prevent damage to the cutting edge. Regularly inspect the pivot and jaws for wear; apply a light oil to the pivot if movement becomes stiff. Store the pliers dry and away from corrosive chemicals.
