Versatile Pliers for Every Task

Combination pliers are your go-to for multi-purpose use. With gripping jaws and integrated cutting edges, they’re perfect for holding, bending, and snipping wires. For example, they’re ideal for electricians, mechanics, and general toolkits alike. Moreover, their solid design ensures lasting durability.

Needle-nose pliers offer a slim profile that makes them excellent for precision work in tight spaces. Use them for electrical connections, electronics assembly, jewellery making, and fiddly tasks where control matters. Not only do they offer reach, but they also provide excellent visibility during delicate work.

Slip-joint pliers and tongue-and-groove pliers (also known as water pump pliers) provide adjustable jaws to grip different sized components — great for plumbing, pipework, and automotive tasks where flexibility is key. Additionally, these types of pliers offer increased torque and a more secure grip.

Locking pliers (vise grips) clamp tightly and stay locked, allowing for hands-free operation and firm gripping of bolts, fasteners, and materials. A must-have for tasks requiring pressure or precision, especially when working solo.

Wire Cutters and Side Cutters for Clean Cuts

Need to cut wire, cable, or metal pins? Our wire cutters and side cutters (also known as diagonal cutters) deliver sharp, clean cuts every time. They’re essential for electrical work, crafting, or construction jobs where precision and speed matter. In fact, many electricians won’t start a job without them.

Side cutters are perfect for trimming copper, aluminium, and other soft wires. With angled jaws and compact size, they work well in tight spots and flush cuts near circuit boards or fixtures. Furthermore, the ergonomic grips reduce fatigue during repetitive work.

End cutting pliers offer a different grip for pulling and trimming nails, wires, and rivets cleanly. Great for joinery, upholstery, and rebar work where access is tight and surface finish matters. They combine pulling strength with clean shear cutting — something few other tools can offer.

Heavy-Duty Bolt Cutters for Tough Jobs

When standard pliers won’t cut it, turn to our robust bolt cutters. Designed for cutting through chains, locks, bolts, and thick metal rods, these tools provide superior cutting force with long handles and hardened blades. Even hardened steel doesn’t stand a chance.

Our mini bolt cutters are ideal for quick cuts in tight spaces, while larger models tackle the toughest materials with ease. They're used by builders, engineers, and rescue teams for when cutting power is critical. Furthermore, their reinforced jaws ensure consistent performance under pressure.

Precision Tools for Electrical Work

Wire strippers remove insulation from cables without damaging the conductor. Choose from manual and automatic options to match your wire type and project scale. Additionally, many of our strippers feature integrated cutters and crimpers for added value.

Crimping pliers are essential for creating secure electrical connections and terminal joints. We stock multi-function crimpers and dedicated models for professionals working with data, power, and automotive systems. Consequently, you’ll save time and boost reliability in your electrical projects.
