Electricians' Wire Gripping and Cutting Pliers
Additional features, such as wire terminal crimpers, enable you to perform a variety of electrical wiring and installation work with a single tool. Also known as lineman’s and combination pliers, these pliers have long jaws that pull, bend, and cut wire and other small workpieces.
Combination-jaw pliers have a curved area for round material in addition to flat jaws.
Cushion-grip pliers have plastic grips for comfort. Those with a voltage detector safely test for AC voltage without contacting live wires. Light and sound indicators alert you when over 50 volts AC is detected. The detector is attached to the tool’s handle; remove it from the handle to use it on its own.
Ultra-grip pliers have grips made of hard and soft materials for comfort and slip resistance. They are shaped to fit your hand and reduce strain from repetitive tasks.
