Insulated Combination Plier (175mm)

An insulated combination plier is a type of hand tool commonly used in electrical work. It is designed with insulated handles to provide protection against electric shock when working on live circuits. The 175mm measurement refers to the length of the pliers, which is approximately 6.9 inches.

The combination plier typically features a combination of different functions in a single tool. It combines the features of a gripping tool and a cutting tool, making it versatile for various tasks. The jaws of the pliers are designed to provide a firm grip on objects, while the cutting edges near the base of the jaws can be used for cutting wires and cables.

The insulated handles of the combination pliers are usually made from materials like plastic or rubber, which act as an insulating layer to prevent the transfer of electrical current from the working area to the user’s hand. This insulation is essential when working on electrical systems to reduce the risk of electrical shock.

When using insulated combination pliers, it’s important to ensure that the insulation is intact and undamaged. Insulated tools should be regularly inspected for any signs of wear and tear. If the insulation is compromised, the pliers should be replaced to maintain safety during electrical work.
