Pincer pliers for pulling, bending and cutting
Pincer pliers grip nails, staples, and wire between two end jaws so you can pull, bend, or cut with a single tool. The Teng Tools Tower Pincers are a 220 mm, 313 g carpenter pincer made from CrMo steel for nail pulling, wire gripping, bending, and end cutting.
With one tool you can extract fasteners, bend stock, and snip tie wire without switching between three separate hand tools.
What to look for in pincer pliers
- Jaw and body material: Pulling nails puts prying loads on the jaws and body. These pincers are CrMo steel, and the jaws resist edge chipping and body flex under aggressive prying loads.
- Even jaw closure: The jaws should meet evenly so they bite cleanly on a nail head. The pivot on these pincers is precision fitted so the jaws meet evenly across their full width, giving a reliable bite on flat head nails from a finish brad up to a framing spike.
- Head configuration: A classic pincer head lets you grip from more than one direction. This head grips nails, staples, and wire from multiple angles.
- Size and weight: A pincer has to give enough leverage to pull a fastener while staying controllable and small enough for tight work. At 220 mm overall and 313 g, this tool balances leverage and control and fits in one hand.
When this pincer is the right choice
Choose these pincers when you want one tool on your belt that handles fastener removal and light wire work. Typical jobs include:
- Stripping old sheathing
- Pulling tack strip
- Pulling embedded nails and staples
- Dressing fence wire
- Snipping tie wire
- Trimming hanger strap
- Bending stock
The 220 mm length also suits work in confined framing cavities, cabinet interiors, and overhead mechanical spaces where a full size bar would be awkward to use.
