Pliers YATO YT-19971, 160 mm, PVC handles

The YATO YT-19971 pliers are 160 mm long hand pliers with PVC-coated handles designed for gripping, bending and cutting small wires and parts in repair and maintenance tasks. Compact and lightweight, these pliers provide controlled handling for electricians, mechanics and home DIY users who need a small tool for accurate work. The tool is supplied as a single-piece pack and intended for general workshop and household use.

Advantages

The PVC-coated handles offer an ergonomic, non-slip grip that improves control during precision tasks. A 160 mm overall length provides a balance between reach and manageability in confined spaces. Hardened jaws and cutting edges deliver reliable performance for cutting soft and medium-hard wires while the compact construction allows access to tight areas where larger pliers would be unsuitable.

Suitable for

• Gripping and holding small components during assembly or repair
• Bending and shaping wires in electrical or mechanical work
• Cutting small gauge wires and cable ties in maintenance tasks
• General DIY tasks requiring a compact, precise hand tool

Key specifications

• Overall length: 160 mm
• Handle coating: PVC for improved grip
• Tool type: combination pliers for gripping, bending and cutting
• Construction: single-piece retail pack

How to use

Hold the pliers by the PVC-coated handles and position the jaws around the workpiece for gripping or bending. For cutting, insert the wire or material into the cutting edge near the pivot and squeeze the handles firmly and steadily until the cut is complete. Use controlled pressure to avoid damaging delicate components. After use, wipe the pliers clean and store them in a dry tool box or on a tool rack to prevent corrosion and maintain cutting performance.

Usage recommendations

Do not use these pliers on live electrical circuits; the PVC handles provide improved grip but are not certified as electrical insulation. For cutting hardened steel or using excessive force, choose a tool rated for such tasks to avoid damage to the cutting edges.
