Pliers & Clamps in Sri Lanka

Pliers grip, cut, bend and hold, and most trades end up owning several types because no single pair does all four well. This range covers combination pliers, long nose, diagonal cutting, groove joint and water pump pliers in several sizes, circlip pliers in internal and external, straight and bent-jaw versions, fencing pliers, sheet metal clamps, stud crimpers, rotary punches, and a full spread of lock-grip pliers including straight jaw, curved jaw, C-clamp, chain and welding clamp patterns.

Lock-grip pliers are the ones that change how you work. They clamp onto a part and stay there, turning a pair of hands into three. C-clamp and welding versions are made for holding two pieces of steel in alignment while you tack them, which is why fabricators buy them in quantity rather than one at a time. Chain versions wrap around pipe and round stock that flat jaws would just slip off.

Circlip pliers are a small category that saves a great deal of swearing. Internal and external circlips need opposite actions, and bent-jaw versions reach clips sitting at an angle inside a housing. Trying the job with a screwdriver usually ends with the clip somewhere on the floor. Groove joint pliers adjust across several jaw openings, so one tool covers a range of pipe and nut sizes.

Electricians, mechanics, fabricators, plumbers, fencing contractors, sheet metal workers and maintenance teams all buy from this range. Insulated pliers for live electrical work are a separate matter and sit in our Safety Products category, where they belong.

A practical note: cutting pliers are ground for a particular hardness of wire. Cutting hardened wire, screws or nails with pliers meant for copper puts a permanent notch in the jaws, and after that they never cut cleanly again.
