Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the P511S and P711S?
The only difference is the handle length. The P511S features standard handles, while the P711S has longer ergonomic handles that provide additional leverage and reduce hand fatigue. Both use the same long serrated jaws.
What are serrated chain nose pliers used for?
They are designed for gripping, holding, positioning, and bending wire or small components. The serrated jaw tips provide extra grip to help prevent slipping during precision work.
Will the serrated jaws mark wire?
Yes. Because these pliers feature serrated gripping surfaces, they may leave marks on softer metals. If you need a mark-free finish, consider a smooth jaw version.

No. These are gripping and forming pliers only and do not include cutting edges.
Can I use these with memory wire?
No. Tronex does not recommend using memory wire with these pliers, as it can damage precision tools.
