Type: A welding type locking plier (also known as a clamp). This tool is a specialized type of locking plier designed to hold and secure metal parts for welding or fabrication.
Dimensions: The product code "543 15 510" is highly suggestive of a 10-inch (250mm) tool.
Jaws: The jaws are the most distinguishing feature. For a "welding type" plier, the jaws are likely designed to be U-shaped or to have a wide, flat profile. This allows for a secure grip on a wide variety of workpieces, including sheet metal, angles, and round stock, while providing clearance for welding.
Material: Like other high-quality NIETZ tools, this would be made from high-quality Chrome Vanadium (Cr-V) steel. This material is drop-forged and heat-treated to ensure maximum strength, durability, and resistance to wear and tear from high temperatures and welding spatter.
Design Features:
Locking Mechanism: The primary feature is the ability to adjust the jaw opening and then lock it in place, providing a powerful, constant grip that allows for hands-free operation.
Adjustment Screw: A screw at the end of the handle is used to precisely adjust the jaw opening and the clamping pressure.
Release Lever: The pliers are released by a lever at the base of the handle.
Application: These pliers are an essential tool for professionals in metalworking, welding, and fabrication for:
Holding and clamping parts in alignment for tack welding.
Securing two pieces of metal together before they are permanently joined.
Clamping workpieces to a table.
Origin: NIETZ tools are typically Made in Taiwan, a region with a strong reputation for producing high-quality hand tools.
