Product Information

Professionals. Technicians. Farmers. Hobbyists. Crafters and DIY-ers. Everyone can find the right set of pliers from the specialists at Maun. Before buying, consider the size of the material you need to grip or clamp, as the maximum jaw width between different models can vary from 20mm to 76mm. All pliers are made from two lengths of shaped metal, which are joined together by a screw at a pivot point, creating a handle on one end, and jaws on the other. Although they come in different shapes and sizes, all have the same basic parts as follows:

Based on the original Maun Parallel Pliers, every device is carefully crafted for precision, ease of use, and durability. Flat nose pliers: as the name suggests, these have a flat nose used for shaping, bending, straightening and crimping wire. Mainly used by jewellers. Buy pliers suited to the task you need to carry out. They will make the job easier, and the pliers and material you’re working on won’t get damaged. If you use them frequently, consider buying the best quality your budget will allow. You may pay more initially, but it will be worth it in the long run. Also, consider how comfortable they’ll be to hold and use over long periods.May not be suitable for use on reusable fasteners as, if you apply too much force, the fasteners will be damaged. Pincers and end cutters: these two types of pliers have rounded jaws that close only at the tip. Pincers are used to pinch, twist or cut wire and pull nails or staples out of wood. End cutters are similar but are more focused on cutting wires, bolts, nails and rivets.
