The 180mm Combination Plier is a general-purpose hand tool designed for gripping, bending and cutting wire and small components. Its 180 millimetre overall length gives a balance of reach and leverage for workshop, maintenance and on-site tasks where a compact, versatile tool is required.

This plier is manufactured from chrome vanadium (Cr-V) steel that has been drop-forged and heat-treated to provide a durable jaw and body with good toughness. The jaws are precision-milled with serrated gripping faces for positive hold and the cutting edges are induction-hardened to retain sharpness and resist premature wear. A polished chrome finish is applied to the steel to improve corrosion resistance and aid cleaning during use. Handles are finished with a bi-material, anti-slip grip for operator comfort and control — not intended as electrical insulation.

The tool is produced to conform with recognised hand-tool standards and practices used across DIN, ISO and BS specifications for pliers and cutters, ensuring consistent dimensions, grip geometry and safety characteristics expected by tradespeople and industrial users.

Typical applications include general electrical and mechanical maintenance, automotive repair, light fabrication, HVAC installation and assembly work in manufacturing. The combination plier is used by electricians for cable preparation (note: not insulated for live working), by vehicle technicians for small component removal and by fitters for bending and forming metal wire or forming clips and fasteners.

Key benefits include good corrosion resistance from the chrome finish, enhanced cutting life from induction-hardened edges, and a robust, heat-treated Cr-V construction that delivers reliable strength and fatigue resistance in repeated use. The serrated jaws provide secure holding of round, flat or irregular sections, and the compact length makes the tool well suited to confined spaces while still providing useful leverage.
