There are numerous types of Pliers on the market, so the first thing to check is what your potential purchase is designed for. From Water Pump Pliers to Wire Stripping Pliers and everything in between, ToolStore UK has the right pair for you. The product description will give you a clear indication of what each product in the range is intended for.
If you're looking for an 'all rounder', Combination Pliers combine wire cutting and insulation stripping with serrated jaws, allowing users to bend, twist and compress. Some models add additional functions or extended leverage.
Once you’ve worked out what type of Pliers you need, you need to consider the properties of the tools. What is the length of the Pliers? Are the cutting angle and cutting capacity suitable for you? Can they be adjusted and is adjusting them easy?
It’s also worth thinking about whether the Pliers you’re thinking of buying have any additional features which make using them safer or more comfortable.
