Pliers Topex 32D138, steel construction, rubber handles, 180 mm length

Topex 32D138 pliers are a compact, general-purpose side cutting plier designed for a range of household, electrical and mechanical tasks. Constructed from hardened steel with induction-hardened cutting surfaces and a double-joint mechanism, this 180 mm plier delivers improved cutting performance and mechanical advantage while remaining comfortable to hold thanks to rubber-coated, anti-slip handles. The tool balances durability and precision for everyday repair and assembly work.

Advantages

The double joint increases leverage, reducing the force required from the user and enabling cleaner cuts. Induction-hardened cutting edges maintain sharpness and resist wear during repeated use. Hardened steel construction provides structural strength for gripping, bending and cutting, while the rubber-coated handles ensure a secure, ergonomic grip and reduce hand fatigue during extended tasks.

Suitable for

• Household repairs and DIY projects
• Electrical work including cutting and stripping small cables
• Mechanical assembly and light maintenance tasks
• Hobbies and craft projects requiring precise cutting or bending

Key specifications

• Tool type: side cutting pliers with double joint
• Overall length: 180 mm
• Construction material: hardened steel
• Cutting edges: induction-hardened surfaces
• Handle material: rubber-coated ergonomic, anti-slip grip
• Weight: approximately 266 g

How to use

Position the jaws around the item to be cut or gripped and apply steady pressure on the handles to perform cutting, bending or gripping operations. Use the double-joint leverage to reduce hand effort when cutting thicker or tougher wires. For electrical work, isolate power and ensure wires are de-energized before cutting. Keep the cutting edges aligned with the material for a clean cut and avoid twisting motions that could damage the tool or the workpiece.

Usage recommendations

Regularly inspect the cutting edges and hinge for wear or damage. Clean and lightly lubricate the joint periodically to maintain smooth operation. Use the pliers within their intended capacity—avoid cutting hardened steel bolts or excessively large-diameter wire—as this may damage the induction-hardened edges. Store the tool in a dry place to prevent corrosion and ensure long-term performance.
