KS Tools plier 115.1046 Chromium-molybdenum steel 220 mm

The KS Tools plier 115.1046 Chromium-molybdenum steel 220 mm is a hand tool designed for precision gripping, bending and cutting tasks. Made from chromium-molybdenum steel, the plier combines toughness with resistance to wear, providing a reliable tool for repeated use. At 220 mm overall length, it offers a balance between reach and control suitable for workshop and field work.

Advantages

This plier is forged from chromium-molybdenum steel to deliver high tensile strength and improved durability compared with standard carbon-steel versions. The 220 mm length provides a compact profile that still allows sufficient leverage for cutting and gripping. The tool's jaws and cutting edges are machined to ensure precise alignment and consistent performance over time. Its construction is suitable for both mechanical and electrical maintenance tasks where accurate handling is required.

Suitable for

• Gripping and holding small to medium components during assembly and repair
• Bending and shaping wires and metal parts
• Cutting soft and medium-hard wires where plier cutters are applicable
• General workshop use, maintenance and light fabrication tasks

Key specifications

• Material: chromium-molybdenum steel
• Overall length: 220 mm
• Functionality: gripping, bending and cutting
• Jaw type: precision-machined gripping surfaces with cutting edges
• Finish: corrosion-resistant treated surface

How to use

Hold the plier by the insulated or ergonomic handles (if present) with a firm grip; position the jaws around the component to be gripped, bent or cut. Apply steady pressure to perform bending or shaping operations, and position the cutting edges squarely against the wire or material when making cuts. Use controlled force to avoid overloading the tool; do not use the plier as a hammer or pry bar. For best results, ensure the jaws are clean and free of debris before use.

Recommendations

Inspect the plier periodically for wear or damage to the cutting edges and jaws. Use appropriate personal protective equipment, such as safety glasses and gloves, when cutting or shaping metal. Store the tool in a dry place to prevent corrosion and keep out of contact with acids or other corrosive substances. For tasks requiring higher leverage or hardened wire cutting, select a plier model specifically rated for those applications.
