How to choose the best pliers?
When choosing the best pliers, it’s important to first determine what you’ll be using them for. Each pair of pliers has its own function, shape, and grip. For general DIY projects, a pliers set is often a good choice, since it gives you immediate access to several commonly used types of pliers. For specific tasks, it’s better to choose a pair of pliers that’s tailored to the job, such as water pump pliers, cutting pliers, wrench pliers, telephone pliers, or front-grip pliers.
Water pump pliers
Water pump pliers are ideal for securely gripping round, flat, or irregularly shaped objects, such as pipes, nuts, and couplings. Models like the KNIPEX Cobra are popular because of their strong grip and adjustable jaws.
Wrench pliers
Wrench pliers combine the grip of pliers with the function of an adjustable wrench. This makes them useful for bolts, nuts, and delicate surfaces where you want to work with precision.
Cutting pliers
Cutting pliers are used to cut wires, cables, and other thin materials. They come in various lengths, so you can choose between a compact design or extra cutting power.
Phone Pliers and Grip Pliers
Phone pliers have long, narrow jaws and are suitable for fine, precise work, such as electronics. Grip pliers, such as the TwinGrip, provide extra grip on hard-to-reach or damaged parts.
Maintenance and Storage
Clean your pliers after use and store them in a dry place in a toolbox, tool roll, or holder. A little oil in the hinge keeps the pliers moving smoothly and extends their lifespan.
