STANLEY pliers model 4-95-100 — hand pliers for gripping and cutting

STANLEY pliers model 4-95-100 are compact hand pliers designed for general gripping, bending and light cutting tasks. Intended for workshop, maintenance and household use, these pliers combine a slim profile with hardened jaws and integrated cutting edges to handle small parts and soft to medium-gauge wire. The tool is suitable for electricians, technicians and DIY users who need a reliable, easy-to-handle instrument for precision work.

Advantages

The pliers offer a balanced combination of gripping and cutting capability in a compact design that facilitates access to confined spaces. Hardened jaw surfaces improve durability and resist wear during repetitive use. The integrated cutting edge is shaped for clean cuts of soft and medium metal wire while the ergonomic handles provide controlled force application for delicate bending and positioning tasks.

Suitable for

• Gripping and holding small parts during assembly and repair
• Bending and shaping wires and metal strips
• Cutting soft to medium-gauge electrical and accessory wires
• Maintenance tasks in workshops, garages and home projects
• Precision tasks for electricians, technicians and hobbyists

Key specifications

• Tool type: hand pliers for gripping and cutting
• Design: compact profile for access to confined spaces
• Jaws: hardened contact surfaces for wear resistance
• Cutting edge: integrated for soft and medium-gauge wire
• Handles: ergonomic shape for controlled grip and force application

How to use

Position the jaws around the object to be gripped, aligned so that the hardened surfaces contact the part for a secure hold. For cutting, place the wire as close as possible to the pivot and apply steady pressure on the handles until the wire severs. Use the pliers for bending by gripping the material near the intended bend point and levering to shape as required. Maintain a firm but controlled grip to avoid slipping and to protect delicate components.

Usage recommendations

Inspect the tool before use and ensure the cutting edges are free of nicks. Avoid cutting hardened steel or materials beyond the specified gauge to prevent damage to the cutting edge. Keep handles clean and dry for secure grip; store the pliers in a dry place to minimise corrosion. For electrical work, verify insulation requirements and use appropriate insulated tools when working on live circuits.
