TEKTON 8 Inch Insulated Long Nose Pliers | PVG10008

Tekton insulated pliers have insulated handles to protect against electrical shock for voltages up to 1000 V AC and 1500 V DC. They are individually tested and VDE certified in accordance with IEC 60900. The slim jaws are 3.2 inches from the center of the joint to the end of the tips, allowing you to reach into tight spaces. The slender jaws offer five distinct work zones: serrated surfaces at the tip for controlled gripping, smooth surfaces in the middle for non-marring clamping, coarse teeth for an aggressive bite, a knife-to-knife wire cutter, and hex-grip teeth that can turn bolts in a pinch. The jaws have a unique set of teeth that positively engage small to medium-sized hex fasteners, similar to a 12-point box end wrench. The wire cutter has two opposing knives that meet in the center and are induction-hardened to 55 - 59 HRC. The tops of the handles are flared to give your hand a positive stop to push against without slipping towards the conductive head of the pliers. The body of the pliers is made of drop-forged steel that's oil-hardened to 43 - 45 HRC and enamel-coated. The cutting knives are induction-hardened to 55 - 59 HRC. The yellow handle core is made of hard polypropylene and the red handle overmold is made of soft, grippy thermoplastic elastomer (TPE).
