DRAPER pliers

DRAPER offers this pliers. Pliers extend your hand: they grip hard and reach places your fingers cannot. Each shape has its job: combination pliers to hold and cut, long-nose pliers for tight spots, circlip pliers for retaining rings, hose clamp pliers for hoses, crimping pliers for electrical terminals.

Why pliers suited to the job?

The benefits:

• Specialist pliers (circlip, clamp, crimping): they do the job cleanly where combination pliers slip or crush.
• Treated steel and serrated jaws: a firm grip without having to squeeze with all your strength.
• Depending on the model, two-material handle covers or increased leverage: less effort and a better grip.

Why choose DRAPER?

When should you replace this tool?

Worn or smooth jaws, bent or chipped tips, dull cutting edges, a joint with play: replace the pliers, they slip, cut poorly and damage the part.

Specifications and fitting tips

• Manufacturer part number: 28617

Cross-Mania tip: Do not use pliers to undo a nut: they round off its flats. For a circlip, use pliers with the right tips (internal or external) and open it just enough to lift it out of its groove.

Compatibility

Workshop tool: it works on any motorcycle or ATV. Just check the size or dimension stated.
