Pincers are a hand tool used in many situations where a mechanical advantage is required to pinch, cut or pull an object. Pincers are first-class levers, but differ from pliers in that the concentration of force is either to a point, or to an edge perpendicular to the length of the tool. This allows pincers to be brought close to a surface, which is often required when working with nails.
Pincers are primarily used for removing objects (typically nails) out of a material that they have been previously applied to. Carpenter's pincers are particularly suited to these tasks.
If the pincers have perpendicular cutting edges, the pincers are often called end-nippers or end-cutters.
Pincers, often red-hot, have also been used as an instrument of torture since ancient Roman times or earlier.
Description:
- 25 % less effort required compared to conventional concreters’ nippers of the same size
- Extra-slim form for tying deep mounted steel rods
- To lace concrete reinforcing steel with binding wire from a roll
- Wire is twisted and cut in a single pass
- High-leverage joint, minimising strain, even when thick binding wires are used
- The high damping of the cutting stroke on cutting through the binding wire reduces the strain on tendons and muscles
- Cutting edges additionally hardened; cutting edge hardness approx. 61 HRC
- High-grade special tool steel, forged, multi stage oil-hardened
Atramentizing is a corrosion protection process in which steel is coated with phosphate using a zinc phosphate solution at 90° C (194° F).
