Pliers (429 items found)

Pliers are an essential tool for every DIY enthusiast or hardware professional, used to grip, cut, twist and tighten a wide range of materials and components. The range here at Ace contains hundreds of premium plier models, all carefully designed and selected to suit your most common maintenance and repair tasks.

The Right Pliers for Every Job

For convenience, we stock pliers either individually, in plier sets or as part of a complete tool kit along with screwdrivers, wrenches, ratchets and other hand tools to provide everything you need for everyday repairs around the home. Our full pliers range includes all the most common types, with some of our most popular options listed below.

Locking Pliers

Locking pliers can perform the work of clamps or wrenches as well as their standard plier tasks. The jaw width can be adjusted to fit the piece you're working on, and they lock firmly in place when you apply pressure to create a high level of force.

Linesman Pliers

A pair of linesman pliers has chunky, serrated jaws that grip firmly to tough materials, making them ideal for bending sheet metal or twisting wires together. They also have a separate cutting edge placed near the hinge to work better with wire, while larger linesman pliers can cut through cable and even light chains.

Long Nose Pliers

As the name suggests, long nose pliers have extended jaws that make it easier to work in confined spaces. They are sometimes called needle nose or pinch nose pliers. While they're extremely useful for many kinds of delicate jobs, long nose pliers aren't usually durable enough for heavy cutting or clamping duties.

Tongue And Groove Pliers

Tongue and groove pliers have adjustable, angled jaws which are ideal for turning nuts and bolts, as well as providing a solid grip on wires, pipe and more. They can also lock firmly into place, giving extra force when turning, making tongue and groove pliers a reliable all-round choice.

Diagonal Pliers

Diagonal pliers have two slanted blade edges that come together into a point, making them an efficient cutting tool for wire, ties, cable and strapping. However, they can't be used for gripping or turning.

Combination Pliers

Combination pliers have multi-textured jaws that can cut, grip or clamp depending on how they're used. They are a highly versatile choice as a tool box essential.

Mini Pliers

Mini pliers are simply compact versions of any type of plier, useful for intricate work with small parts in confined areas. You can find mini pliers in all the main plier formats, including long nose, combination, linesman, locking and more.

Joint Pliers

Joint pliers or slip-joint pliers are the most common type found in a typical home toolbox. Their simple but versatile design makes them suitable for the widest variety of everyday jobs.
