Pliers KS Tools 115.1055 Chromium-molybdenum steel

The KS Tools 115.1055 pliers are constructed from chromium-molybdenum steel to provide a balance of strength and wear resistance for repeated use. Designed for general gripping, bending and manipulating metal and other materials, these pliers combine a compact form with a robust working surface to suit workshop and at-home tasks. The tool's geometry supports controlled force transfer from handle to jaws for precise handling.

Advantages

Chromium-molybdenum steel construction increases tensile strength and improves fatigue resistance compared with standard carbon tools. The pliers feature a hardened jaw area for durable gripping performance and consistent contact under load. Their ergonomically shaped handles allow secure hold and reduce hand strain during extended use. The overall build quality and finish reduce the risk of corrosion and help maintain reliable operation over time.

Suitable for

• Gripping and holding small to medium metal components
• Bending sheet metal, wires and rods
• General workshop maintenance and repair tasks
• Home DIY projects requiring controlled force and precision

Key specifications

• Material: chromium-molybdenum steel
• Tool type: combination pliers (gripping and bending)
• Jaw surface: hardened gripping area for wear resistance
• Handle: ergonomically shaped for secure grip
• Finish: corrosion-resistant surface treatment

How to use

Position the jaws around the workpiece so the hardened gripping surfaces make full contact. Apply steady pressure through the handles while keeping the wrist aligned to avoid slipping. For bending tasks, place the material at the intended bend point near the jaw edge and use controlled hand force to form the bend. After use, wipe the tool clean and store in a dry place to preserve the finish and functional surfaces.

Recommendations

Use the pliers within their intended capacity; avoid applying excessive torque or using the tool as a hammer. Regularly inspect the gripping surfaces for wear and recondition or replace the tool when gripping performance declines. For electrical work, ensure appropriate insulated tools are used as these pliers are not electrically insulated.
