Tower Pincer Carbon Steel

The Tower Pincer made from Carbon Steel offers a budget-friendly option for gripping, twisting, and cutting wires. Here’s a breakdown of its key features:

• Combination Tool: Similar to the CRV steel version, Tower pincers are essentially pliers and cutters combined. They typically have serrated jaws for gripping and a cutting edge near the base for severing wires.

• Carbon Steel Construction: This is a common and cost-effective material for tools. It offers decent strength and durability for general tasks. However, compared to Chrome Vanadium (CRV) steel, it has some limitations:

  • Lower Strength: Carbon steel might bend or warp under higher pressure, potentially limiting its ability to cut very hard wires.
  • Dulling: The cutting edge may dull faster compared to CRV steel, requiring more frequent sharpening.

• Gripping and Cutting: The jaws of the pincer can grip wires of various sizes for pulling, twisting, or holding them in place. The cutting edge allows you to snip wires.

• Tower Design: This refers to the overall shape of the handle, which is often elongated and ovalized for improved leverage and grip comfort when applying force.
