Lineman's pliers feature a high transmission ratio for easy cutting, requiring 50% less effort compared to conventional combination pliers due to the optimized transmission ratio. They have a solid construction for heavy strain and are universally applicable. The ergonomically optimized handle shape ensures a firm grip and reduces fatigue during operation. The cross-hatched knurled gripping zone in the jaws provides strong gripping and pulling power. These pliers include cutting edges for both soft and hard wire, with the cutting edges additionally induction-hardened, achieving a hardness of approximately 64 HRC.
