Stanley 84-029 Linesman Pliers Side Cutting 8-3/4 in

Product Description

The STANLEY 84-029 is a side-cutting linesman's pliers designed for electrical work and general trade use. Built with an overall length of 8.75 inches and a jaw length of 1-31/64 inches, this tool handles wire cutting, twisting, and gripping tasks common in commercial and residential electrical installations. The round nose head features serrated jaw surfaces that grip conductors and objects firmly without slipping. Thermoplastic elastomer (TPR) handles provide a secure, cushioned grip during extended use. This is a hand tool intended for licensed electricians and experienced tradespeople who need reliable cutting and gripping performance in the field.

The STANLEY 84-029 is suited for residential and commercial electrical work where linesman's pliers are a standard requirement. Typical applications include splicing and twisting wire, cutting through conductors, and gripping hardware during panel work, conduit runs, and rough-in electrical installations. The 8.75-inch overall length gives the user adequate leverage for twisting heavier gauge wire while remaining manageable in tight spaces. This tool is appropriate for electricians, electrical apprentices, and skilled tradespeople working under NEC-governed installations.

Installation Notes

Linesman's pliers are installed and used by licensed electricians and electrical apprentices. Always de-energize and lock out circuits before working on conductors or panel connections in accordance with NEC lockout/tagout requirements. Inspect jaw and cutting edges before use and retire the tool if edges are chipped or handles are cracked. These pliers are not rated as insulated tools and should not be used on energized conductors.
