Pliers Topex straight 160 mm

Pliers Topex straight 160 mm are a manual gripping tool with a straight jaw profile and an overall length of 160 mm. Designed for holding, bending and cutting small wires and components, these pliers suit general repair, assembly and light mechanical tasks. The straight jaws provide precise access in narrow spaces and controlled gripping for work in electronics, household maintenance and hobby projects.

Advantages

The straight jaw design delivers accurate alignment of the cutting and gripping surfaces, allowing stable handling of small parts and wire. Compact 160 mm length offers improved maneuverability in tight spots while maintaining sufficient leverage for bending and cutting light-gauge wire. The ergonomically shaped handles support a secure grip and reduce hand fatigue during repetitive tasks. Hardened jaws and cutting edges ensure wear resistance and consistent performance over repeated use.

Suitable for

• Electronics assembly and small-component handling
• Household repairs and maintenance
• Jewellery making and hobby crafts
• Light mechanical work and cable preparation
• Precision bending and shaping of thin wires

Key specifications

• Overall length: 160 mm
• Jaw profile: straight
• Primary functions: gripping, bending, cutting small wires/components
• Handle type: ergonomically shaped for hand comfort
• Material properties: hardened jaws and cutting edges for wear resistance

How to use

Position the pliers' straight jaws around the component or wire so that the working surfaces meet the intended contact area. Apply steady pressure on the handles to hold or bend the material; for cutting, place the wire close to the cutting edge and squeeze the handles firmly until the wire is severed. Use short, controlled movements when working in tight spaces and avoid excessive force beyond the tool's intended light-duty range. After use, wipe the tool clean and store in a dry place to prevent corrosion.

Usage recommendations

Use these pliers for tasks involving thin to light-gauge wires and small components; do not use for heavy cutting, prying or on hardened steel larger than the tool's capacity. Regularly inspect the cutting edges and pivot for wear, and maintain with light lubrication at the joint if stiffness occurs.
