Combination pliers, also known as "Lineman's pliers", are used for gripping, bending, twisting, and cutting. These types of pliers are typically used by electricians, workmen, and tradespeople for bending and cutting through tough metal wire and electrical cables. The Beta 1150INOX heavy-duty combination pliers are manufactured with stainless steel for use where moisture and other contaminents are present. Stainless steel prevents corrosion and rust which can hinder joint movement. These pliers measure 180mm (7.09") overall.
