GEDORE red Gripping and Cutting Pliers
Gripping Pliers for DIY, Assembly and Maintenance
Gripping pliers work best when the shape of the jaws matches the workpiece. Adjustable water pump pliers offer several opening widths for round components of different sizes. Locking pliers maintain the clamping force once it has been set.
Important selection criteria:
- Shape and size of the workpiece
- Required opening width
- Desired gripping force
- Available access
- Sensitivity of the surface
Combination Gripping and Cutting Pliers
Combination pliers save you from changing tools, especially when gripping, bending and cutting are required during the same task. The gripping area is located at the front, while the cutting edges are positioned closer to the joint. This allows the cutting section to benefit from the greater leverage.
Cutting Pliers for Different Materials and Cross-Sections
When selecting cutting pliers, the material determines the requirements. Fine wire requires a different cutting edge than a harder or significantly stronger workpiece. The diameter, desired cutting position and available space are also important factors.
GEDORE red offers various diagonal cutters as well as bolt cutters in different lengths. However, the length of the tool alone says nothing about whether it is suitable for a particular material. The technical specifications of the respective model remain decisive.
- Determine the material before choosing the tool size
- Match the diameter or cross-section to the cutting capacity
- Consider the cutting position
- Choose compact pliers for restricted access
- For higher cutting forces, pay attention to a suitable leverage system
Precise Cuts for Workshop and Assembly Work
A clean cut makes the next work step easier. Cables can be stripped more evenly, wire ends can be processed more effectively and components can be assembled more cleanly. Particularly when cutting frequently, the shape of the cutting edge should therefore match the task precisely.
VDE Versions for Electrical Applications
GEDORE red also offers VDE pliers for selected electrical tasks. These include the R29100010 VDE water pump pliers, 10 inches, adjustable to 7 positions; the R29512205 angled VDE long-nose pliers; and the R29400180 VDE diagonal cutters with a 180 mm 2-component handle.
The VDE version adds protective insulation for the intended electrical application to the respective pliers function. The actual tool selection is still based on the gripping or cutting task.

Answers to the Most Frequently Asked Questions
They are particularly suitable for round workpieces and changing dimensions. The adjustable joint position provides several opening widths.
The set clamping force remains in place, making locking pliers suitable for securing and holding a workpiece.
Diagonal cutters are more compact and designed for approved wires and materials of the corresponding size. Bolt cutters generate significantly higher cutting forces through their long handles.
The range in this category includes, among others, VDE water pump pliers, angled VDE long-nose pliers and VDE diagonal cutters.
