Kincrome’s premium Japanese-forged linesman pliers are built for demanding professional use. These high-leverage pliers deliver powerful gripping, twisting, bending, cutting and crimping performance in one versatile tool. Forged and heat-treated in Japan from high-carbon Japanese steel, they feature precision machined cross-hatched jaws for a secure non-slip grip when twisting cables, dedicated pipe grip jaws for circular objects, and a narrow plier head for easier access in confined spaces. Integrated cutting edges, dual hinge-area cable cutters and a built-in crimper provide multi-functional capability, while induction-hardened cutting edges deliver superior edge retention and durability. Finished with nickel blended steel that is polished and oil treated for enhanced rust resistance and longer tool life, these pliers also feature solvent and heat-resistant vinyl grips for comfortable, controlled handling in tough workshop conditions.
