Collection: Pliers

For electrical work, insulated combination pliers (rated 1000 V VDE) are the essential starting point. Needle-nose pliers are ideal for bending wire ends into loops and reaching terminals in tight spaces. Always pair them with Voltage Tester Screwdrivers to verify a circuit is dead before you touch it.

Combination pliers have a wide flat jaw for gripping flat surfaces plus a serrated section for round objects and a cutting edge near the pivot. Long-nose (needle-nose) pliers have a tapered jaw for precision work in confined areas. For a complete hand-tool setup, explore our Hand Tools collection where both types are available.

Most combination pliers have a small cutting section near the pivot that handles light-gauge wire. However, for clean, flush cuts on thicker cable or for repeated cutting work, a dedicated tool is far better. Check out our Wire Cutters for the right tool for the job — your pliers will last longer too.

Wipe the jaws clean after use to remove metal filings and grime. Apply a drop of light machine oil to the pivot joint every few months to keep the action smooth. Store them in a dry location to prevent rust. If the cutting edges dull, our Replacement Cutter Blades can restore full performance on compatible models.

Yes — "mole grips" is a widely used brand name that has become a generic term for locking pliers. They use an over-centre mechanism to clamp and stay clamped without continuous hand pressure. This makes them invaluable for holding rounded or stripped fasteners, acting as a makeshift wrench, or freeing a seized bolt. Browse our Hand Tools section to find the right locking plier size for your needs.

A practical starter set usually includes one pair of combination pliers, one needle-nose pair, and one pair of wire cutters. Look for chrome-vanadium steel construction, comfortable non-slip grips, and a sturdy pivot. Pair them with a Screwdriver Set and you'll have the foundation for most household and light professional tasks.
