Dual Color Lineman’s Plier (162mm)

Dual Color Lineman’s Plier (162mm) refers to a type of pliers specifically designed for use by lineworkers or electricians. The “dual color” aspect typically refers to the handle grips having two different colors, often red and yellow, for easy identification and visibility.

The 162mm measurement denotes the overall length of the pliers, measuring approximately 162 millimeters. This length is commonly considered compact or medium-sized, providing a balance between maneuverability and functionality.

Lineman’s pliers, also known as combination pliers or side-cutting pliers, are versatile tools commonly used in electrical work. They feature a gripping jaw on one side and a cutting edge on the other. The gripping jaw is typically serrated to provide a firm hold on wires, cables, or other materials, while the cutting edge allows for the cutting of wires and small bolts.

The dual-color handles on these pliers serve multiple purposes. Firstly, they enhance visibility, making it easier to locate the tool amidst other tools or equipment. Secondly, the distinct colors aid in identifying the pliers, especially when working in a team where multiple tools may be in use simultaneously.
