Description
The DeWalt DHT082808 Combination Pliers 160mm are robust, multi-purpose pliers designed for gripping, cutting and twisting tasks in electrical, installation and general maintenance work. Engineered with a laser-hardened cutting edge, high leverage design and improved hardness depth, they deliver strong cutting performance and reliable grip in a compact 160mm form. With COMFORT-GRIP handles, an S-shaped handle profile, a strike zone and integrated fish tape puller, these pliers are built to offer both versatility and user comfort on site and in the workshop.
Cutting performance and hardness
At the core of the DeWalt DHT082808 Combination Pliers is a laser-hardened cutting edge designed for maximum strength and durability. With an approximate hardness of 61±2 HRc and a hardened depth of 1.5±0.5mm, the cutting edges are engineered to stay sharper for longer and resist wear in demanding applications. This helps ensure clean, consistent cuts on suitable wires and small components, reducing the need for repeated cutting and helping to maintain professional results.
High leverage design and durability
The high leverage geometry of these combination pliers increases jaw force at the cutting and gripping surfaces, allowing you to cut and grip with less effort. This is particularly beneficial during repetitive tasks or when working with tougher materials. A black oxide trim enhances durability further by providing additional corrosion resistance and extending the overall lifespan of the tool, making it well suited for daily professional use.
Grip, control and comfort
The DeWalt DHT082808 is fitted with two-zone COMFORT-GRIP handles, contoured to provide an optimal blend of cushioning and control. The dual-material design gives a secure, non-slip hold with extra cushioning where the hand needs it most, helping to reduce fatigue over prolonged periods of use. The S-shaped handle design is specifically shaped to sit comfortably in the hand and improve overall grip security, supporting precise control in tight or awkward spaces.
Versatile functionality
As combination pliers, the DHT082808 are designed for multiple functions in a single tool. The jaws provide secure gripping and twisting capability for conductors, fixings and small components, while the cutting edges handle suitable wire and cable. An integrated strike zone allows controlled tapping in light applications, and the built-in fish tape puller adds convenience when pulling and guiding fish tape during cable routing. This combination of features reduces the need to switch tools, improving workflow efficiency.
Applications and use cases
The DeWalt DHT082808 Combination Pliers 160mm are ideal for electrical installation, service work, maintenance, assembly and general repair tasks. Their compact size makes them particularly effective in junction boxes, consumer units, control panels and other confined spaces where precision and manoeuvrability are essential. Whether you are gripping, twisting, cutting or pulling, these pliers offer a versatile, dependable solution for everyday site and workshop tasks.
