Inherently stable also where there is twisting and very strong when cutting

The precision tips made of vanadium electric steel are elastic and stable when twisted. This allows the manual force deployed using these pliers to be well measured, which is a particular benefit with delicate components. The needle nose pliers can also be used for powerful gripping and holding – and for cutting. Thanks to the position of the cutting edges near the joint which is advantageous for the transmission of force, good cutting capacities are achieved. Medium-hard wire can be cut up to Ø 3.2 mm and hard wire up to Ø 2.2 mm.
