Long Nose Pliers · 8-1/2 in (216 mm) · Cutter and 12/14 AWG Stripping Holes · IDEAL 35-3038
What this product is for
This long nose plier is used for gripping, pulling, bending and cutting wire during electrical installation and service work. The long tapered nose helps reach conductors in tight boxes, panels and device terminations where a standard lineman plier is too bulky.
Use for
Use for pulling and shaping conductors, trimming copper or aluminium wire, and handling small parts in confined spaces. The integrated cutter and 12/14 AWG stripping holes are useful for common branch-circuit tasks typically associated with 15A and 20A wiring.
Avoid for
Avoid using these pliers as an insulated live-line tool, for prying, or for cutting materials beyond the tool's intended capacity. They are not a substitute for dedicated cable cutters or heavy-duty bolt cutters.
Best for
Best for electricians, maintenance technicians and contractors who want one hand tool for wire manipulation and light cutting in tight working areas. Commonly used for panel work, device make-up, control wiring and service calls.
Installed in
Typically used in residential, commercial and light industrial electrical work, including panels, junction boxes, switchgear trim-out and device boxes. As a rule of thumb, the 12/14 AWG stripping holes align with common branch-circuit conductor sizes, but actual conductor type and insulation thickness can affect stripping results.
Why this product exists
This tool combines long-reach gripping jaws, a side cutter and wire stripping holes in one format so electricians can handle conductors efficiently without switching tools as often. Smart-Grip handles are intended to improve control during repetitive hand work.
Compared with similar products
Compared with standard long nose pliers, this model adds an integrated cutter and stripping holes for 12/14 AWG wire. Compared with lineman pliers, the nose is narrower and better suited to confined spaces, though it is not intended for the same heavier gripping and cutting duties.
