TED® Combination pliers are a fundamental tool for any engineer they typically combine the functions of gripping and cutting.
Key Features:
-
Jaws: Combination pliers have serrated jaws that provide a strong grip on objects. The jaws may have both flat and curved surfaces, offering versatility in holding different shapes.
-
Cutting Edges: Located near the pivot point, combination pliers often feature cutting edges for cutting wires and other materials. The cutting edges are typically induction-hardened to enhance durability.
-
Joint: The pivot joint allows the jaws to open and close. High-quality combination pliers have a smooth and precise joints for efficient operation.
-
Handles: The handles of combination pliers are usually insulated or coated with non-conductive material, making them suitable for electrical work. The handles may also have ergonomic designs for comfortable use.
Common Uses:
-
Gripping: Combination pliers securely hold, twist, or bend materials such as wires, cables, and small components.
-
Cutting: The cutting edges of combination pliers are designed for cutting wires and softer materials. They are not intended for cutting hard materials like nails or bolts.
-
Crimping: Some combination pliers have sections near the joint designed for crimping, allowing for the creation of secure connections in electrical work.
-
Stripping Wires: The jaws of combination pliers can strip insulation from electrical wires.
