Pliers YATO YT-2468, C-type, 280 mm

Pliers YATO YT-2468, C-type, 280 mm are hand pliers designed for gripping, bending and cutting tasks where a C-shaped jaw profile provides secure contact with the workpiece. With an overall length of 280 mm and a compact head geometry, these C-type pliers offer a balance of leverage and access for workshop, automotive and general maintenance jobs. The tool is built with a robust construction intended for repeated use in professional and hobby environments.

Advantages

The C-shaped jaw profile ensures stable holding and precise manipulation of round, profiled or flat components. The 280 mm length provides improved leverage compared with smaller models while remaining maneuverable in confined spaces. A durable body and hardened cutting edges maintain performance under frequent use. The geometry and ergonomics are designed to reduce slipping and to allow controlled application of force when gripping or bending materials.

Suitable for

• Gripping and holding round and profiled parts in assembly and repair work
• Bending sheet metal edges and small rods where a C-jaw is required
• Cutting light wires or cable ties during maintenance tasks
• Automotive repair tasks in tight engine bay or chassis locations
• General workshop and DIY projects requiring compact pliers with leverage

Key specifications

• Tool type: C-type pliers for gripping, bending and cutting
• Overall length: 280 mm for improved leverage and accessibility
• Jaw profile: C-shaped for secure contact with round and profiled workpieces
• Construction: robust, single-piece body with hardened working edges
• Applications: suitable for workshop, automotive and maintenance tasks

How to use

Position the C-shaped jaws around the workpiece so that contact is made on the intended gripping points. Apply steady pressure using the handles to grip, bend or, where applicable, cut light wires or ties with the cutting edges. For bending operations, use controlled, incremental force to avoid over-stressing the material. Keep fingers clear of the jaw area during operation and maintain a firm hold on the tool to prevent slippage.

Usage recommendations

Inspect jaws and cutting edges before use; replace or service the tool if excessive wear, chipping or deformation is present. Use appropriate personal protective equipment such as safety glasses and gloves when cutting or bending materials. Do not use the pliers on hardened fasteners or materials beyond the tool's intended capacity.
