Lock grip pliers introduced to tools range
Latest additions made to a hand tools catalogue include automatic lock grip pliers a heavy duty mobile work station and a range of wrench clips among screwdrivers, socketry and workshop tools.
There are three sizes available, Head of marketing at Facom, David Osborne, said: "Multigrip pliers are one of the most versatile tools in a mechanics toolbox, which must adapt to components of different shapes and sizes.
Whilst many standard pliers compromise on the quality of connection due to lack of accuracy, the 181 multigrip plier is specifically designed to give end-users a better grip, allowing higher torque loads to be applied and reducing the risk of slippage during tightening".
Facom said that the multigrip pliers are manufactured to the highest safety standards.
The handle of the multigrip pliers is designed to protect the user's fingers during operation.
The handle cross-over, the most sensitive part of the tool, is reduced to a minimum, decreasing the risk of breakage.
Other features include self gripping teeth to enable pipes and nuts to be held firmly, avoiding the risk of deformation or injury.
