PLIERS ABC – TECHNICAL BASICS

BASIC SHAPES OF THE JAWS

ƃCV LCYU

half-round jaws

round jaws Cutting Pliers Gripping Pliers
for cutting or nipping (diagonal, (ƃat , long nose and
centre and end cutters, carpenters‘ water pump pliers etc )
pincers etc )
JOINT CONNECTIONS

Forged-in joint axle
The rivet is part of one handle
(forged from one piece)
high stability for highest strain
long service life

Joint with inserted rivet
A proved, sturdy and precise rivet
connection for all standard pliers
Combined Pliers Special Pliers
for cutting and gripping (combination, for special applications, e g notching
Bolted joint stork beak and radio pliers etc ) or punching different types of materials
For particularly demanding (sheet metal nibbler, tile nibbling
requirements in terms of precision pincers etc )
and smooth operation, e g in circlip
pliers and cable shears (even the
Ƃnest multi stranded conductors
have to be cut cleanly)
TYPES OF JOINTS point
gripping surface
Lap joint
The two plier halves lie on top of recess (pipe grip)
each other but are not milled out
jaw

ƃCPM
Single joint
Half the thickness in each pliers additional cutting edge
handle is milled away in the
joint area so that both handles
can be laid into each other

Box joint
One handle on the pliers is slit
The other handle is pushed through
this slot This joint connection can
withstand a high level of load and
strain because the joint bolt is
supported on both sides and the
inside handle is guided on both sides
