Description
The Procat 3-piece pliers set is designed for anyone who needs exceptional reach and reliability from their tools. The key feature of the set is the pliers’ 27.5 cm length, which lets you work on deep-set targets, in cramped engine bays or other hard-to-reach places that ordinary pliers cannot reach.
The set contains three different needle-nose pliers with differently bent tips. This versatility ensures that you always have the right tool for the situation, whether it is a straight pull, gripping around a corner or handling a part in an awkward position. The different bend angles significantly increase flexibility and efficiency in installation and maintenance work.
The pliers are built with drop-forged carbon steel tips. This manufacturing method and choice of material guarantee excellent durability and torsional rigidity even in hard use. Carbon steel is known for its ability to withstand wear and keep its shape, which is critical in tasks that require precision.
Comfort and safety have been taken into account especially in the grips of the pliers. They have rubber-coated handles, which give an ergonomic, secure grip. Thanks to the rubber surface, the pliers stay firmly in the hand even in wet, oily or slimy conditions, which makes the set an excellent choice for fishing use as lure pliers or for industrial maintenance work, for example.
This Procat pliers set combines the reach of an extra-long arm, the durability of carbon steel and the grip of rubber handles into one functional whole. It is an essential addition to the toolbox when working space is limited and you need force and precision at a distance.
Intended use:
- Fishing and boating: Excellent lure pliers for removing hooks from deep in a fish’s mouth thanks to their long arms. The rubber handles guarantee a secure grip even when your hands are wet or covered in fish slime, which improves safety and speeds things up on the water.
- Vehicle installation and mechanics: Ideal tools for working in cramped engine bays, under the dashboard or in other hard-to-reach places in cars, motorcycles and boats. The different bends help with handling hose clamps, cotter pins or dropped parts in tight gaps.
- Industrial maintenance: Suitable for servicing machines and equipment where components sit deep in the structure. The durable carbon steel construction stands up to the demands of an industrial environment, and the long arm keeps the user’s hands further away from potential hazards or hot surfaces.
- HVAC, plumbing and electrical installations: Useful for installations in narrow flues, cabinets or ceiling voids where precise gripping and reach are needed to handle cables, pipes or small parts. Note, however, that the pliers are not electrically insulated.

Procat pliers set instructions for use:
Getting started and choosing: Choose the pliers best suited to the task from the three options. Assess the location of the target and the angle of approach needed. Straight pliers suit targets directly in front of you, while bent tips make work easier around a corner or when a straight line is blocked. Make sure your hands are dry or that you wear suitable protective gloves for the best grip, even though the rubber handles improve wet grip.
Working: Use the long arms of the pliers to reach cramped and deep-set targets. Squeeze the handles with even force. Thanks to the long lever arm, considerable force is applied to the tips, so avoid squeezing too hard with small or fragile objects. Use the pliers mainly for gripping, holding and bending. Do not use them as a hammer or a twisting tool in ways they are not designed for.
Maintenance and storage: Carbon steel is a durable material, but it is prone to corrosion in damp conditions. Always clean the pliers after use, especially if they have been used for fishing or in wet conditions. Dry them carefully. To prevent rust, it is advisable to wipe the metal parts regularly with a thin layer of protective oil (e.g. general-purpose oil). Store the pliers set in a dry toolbox or on a tool wall.
Warnings:
Follow these warnings to ensure safe use:
- Not electrically insulated: These pliers are not VDE-approved or electrically insulated. Never use them near live parts because of the risk of electric shock.
- Personal protective equipment: Always wear safety glasses when working, especially if there is a risk of loose parts or liquids. Wearing protective gloves is recommended.
- Overloading: Avoid overloading the pliers. Excessive force can damage the joint or tips of the pliers or cause the tool to slip.
- Inspection: Do not use the pliers if they are damaged, for example if the joint has loosened or the tips are broken. Inspect the tools regularly.
- Out of reach of children: Keep the pliers set out of reach of children because of the sharp tips and the risk of pinching.
Frequently asked questions (FAQ):
Are these pliers stainless?
The pliers are made of carbon steel, which is extremely durable but not completely stainless. We recommend drying and oiling the pliers after use, especially in damp conditions, to prevent rust.
Are these pliers suitable for fishing?
Yes, the extra-long arms and secure rubber handles make them excellent for removing hooks, for example (lure pliers). Remember, however, to look after them well after contact with water.
What is the exact length of the pliers?
The overall length of all three pliers in the set is 27.5 cm.
Recycling instructions:
At the end of its life, the product must be recycled properly. The pliers are mainly metal (carbon steel) and can be taken to metal recycling. The rubber grips can often be left in place for metal recycling, or they can be removed and put in mixed waste depending on local instructions. Sort the packaging materials (cardboard/plastic) and recycle them in the collection containers intended for them.
