What is Combination Pliers

Also known as lineman’s and combination pliers, these tools pull, bend, and cut wire. Combination-jaw pliers have a flat area for general gripping and a curved area for round material. Cushion-grip pliers have plastic grips for comfort. Ultra-grip pliers have grips made of hard and soft materials for comfort and slip resistance.

Traditional Combination Pliers

These pliers have one scissor-type jaw opening, where half of the length is flat and used for gripping, and the other half is a cutting edge used for cutting wire.

The main benefit of these is the ability to quickly swap between bending and cutting, as the wire will already be very close to the cutters during gripping.

They are however riskier, as it’s easy to accidentally cut the wire you were intending to grip.

They also have a worse grip than a full-length plier, as they only have half of the contact surface area to apply force on.

How to use Combination Pliers

Combination pliers can be used in the same way as traditional pliers, by holding the tool in one hand, placing the workpiece in the jaws (gripping or cutting depending on the task), and applying force to the handles.

To do so safely, ensure you wear goggles, gloves, and long sleeves, and keep your other hand away from the jaws.
