Combination pliers have a serrated jaw and additional built-in tools for various purposes. They are made of hard metals to grip round objects and often have wire cutters and insulated rubber grips. Combination circlip pliers are made for attaching and removing circlips with adjustable fittings.
A typical set of pliers is designed with two handles that are hinged together and connected to a serrated jaw that is used to grip objects. Combination pliers have these characteristics, but are also created with one or more additional built-in tools that can be used for a wider variety of purposes. There are also other types of grapples that have been built for a specific task, but can be considered combination grapples because they are adjustable. Combination pliers are used in many trades and can be a necessary tool for home builders, jewelers and just about anyone else.
Combination slip joint pliers can be found in many different shapes, sizes, and materials. The end of these combination pliers consists of a rougher toothed jaw closest to the hinge. Coarse teeth have a better ability to grip and rotate objects such as pipes, pins and rods. It can be particularly difficult for the set of pliers to grip round objects like these, so combination pliers are often constructed of extra-hard metals, such as carbon steel alloys, to help prevent wear on the teeth by helping them grip objects sometimes slippery.
An example of a common element of combination pliers are the wire cutters, which are built into many pairs for added utility and are usually located near the jaw. They are also often made with insulated rubber grips on the handles to prevent slipping. Insulation can help protect the user when cutting and crimping wires, although it’s never safe to use tools on live wires. The pliers elements for crimping and cutting are often located next to the hinge on the handle side of the tool, opposite the jaw, but combination pliers can be designed in many different configurations.
Combination circlip pliers are made specifically for attaching and removing circlips, which are circular metal fasteners of various sizes with two adjacent holes made for putting them on and removing them. These pliers come with several removable fittings made for different sizes and styles of circlips. Their removal or attachment can be at different angles, depending on their use, and the pliers are made to be adjustable for as many combinations of sizes and angles as possible.
