It's difficult and impractical to press a button to adjust pliers when carrying out installation work in confined spaces. Especially when working on live parts, this can pose considerable danger to the user. The pliers wrench Professional electric from Wiha provides the solution! Work is so much faster and easier when you set the required width across flats directly on the work piece without needing to press a button. This also means that access to tight workspaces is improved noticeably. Wear and damage to sensitive surfaces are minimized thanks to extremely smooth, parallel-acting jaws. Thanks to the up to ten-fold increase in manual force, compression and bending tasks are significantly easier, thus reducing the strain on muscles and tendons. The ratchet principle offers another advantage. The gripping jaws' opening stroke enables faster screw fastening by simply slipping over. Other special features include self-locking from AF 17 and a button-free function that allows both right- and left-handed operation. Made of high quality chrome vanadium steel, the cutting edges of the pliers are distinguished by their longevity and robustness, not the least thanks to their corrosion-resistant and easy to clean surface. The slimBits undergo individual piece testing as per the international IEC 60900 standard, ensuring absolute safety and allowing users to work safely on live parts up to 1,000 V AC.
