Are Connex Radio and Telephone Pliers the practical upgrade that improves everyday telecom and radio repairs?
⚡ At a Glance
- • Cutting Quality: Additional induction hardening on the cutting edges for sustained sharpness
- • Best for: Telecom and radio maintenance, small-cable cutting and precision repair tasks
- • Not ideal for: Heavy-duty bolt cutting or thick, industrial wire
160 mm straight pliers with induction-hardened cutting edges and a three-component handle. Designed for accurate cuts and comfortable grip during repetitive small-scale electrical work.
Long-lasting sharpness - thanks to induction-hardened cutting edges
Induction hardening selectively increases surface hardness at the cutting edge by rapid heating and quenching, creating a tougher wear-resistant layer while retaining core toughness. Additional hardening of the cutting edges slows bluntness during repeated use.
Sharper edges hold up through many cuts, giving cleaner shears and fewer maintenance sessions.
Reach and control for small tasks - with a 160 mm straight profile
A 160 mm overall length balances reach and leverage, while a straight jaw keeps alignment for accurate shearing. The length helps access tight spots without sacrificing hand control.
Easier access to connectors and tidy cuts on small cables, improving precision in cramped workspaces.
Comfort during repetitive use - with a three-component handle
A three-component handle combines layers of differing materials to deliver a firmer core and softer outer surfaces for grip and shock absorption. The construction increases slip resistance while maintaining tactile feedback.
Secure, comfortable grip reduces hand fatigue and improves control during longer repair or installation jobs.
