Overview
A hammer face, wire cutter and gripping jaws are the working parts of a fencing plier, and this one adds ergonomic ProTouch grips on long handles. The head is nickel chromium steel, and the listing says it meets ANSI.
Length gives the leverage that fence wire needs, and the grips make a long day of fence work easier on the hand. The limitation is data, because the cutting width figure matches the plier length and no wire rating is given.
Who it's for
Farm, ranch and fencing work where one tool must grip, pull and cut wire. Electrical or fine bench work calls for a smaller plier.
Pros and cons
- Long handle leverage
- Nickel chromium steel
- ProTouch ergonomic grips
- ANSI specification noted
- Heavy to carry
- Wire rating not listed
- Cutting width unclear
- Not for fine work
Performance notes
Long handles multiply hand force at the jaws, which helps with pulling wire tight and cutting stubborn strands. The grips spread pressure across the palm. Hard or high-tensile wire can nick any cutting edge, so wire type matters.
