Universal Tools

Maintenance pliers and cabinet keys support gripping, wire handling and access to control-cabinet closures. Engineering Supplies offers Phoenix Contact UNIFOX pliers and the SF-CCK 9 key, with several tool shapes to compare.

First, identify the workpiece or closure. Then check the jaw shape, opening and access needed for the task.

Maintenance pliers and cabinet keys in this range

• UNIFOX-WP_DB: water-pump pliers with a groove joint and dual-notched gripping surfaces.
• UNIFOX-P VDE_DB: needle-nose pliers with a cutter.
• UNIFOX-C VDE_DB: 180mm combination pliers with a notched grip.
• UNIFOX-CE VDE_DB: angled combination pliers with an opening spring, lock and M8–M10 ring wrench.
• SF-CCK 9: a metal key for several control-cabinet closure profiles.

Check the grip and closure profile

The cabinet key lists square sizes from 5mm to 10mm across its options, along with triangular and other profiles. Therefore, identify the closure shape and size before choosing it.

For pliers, compare the reach and gripping surface with the part you need to hold. Also, check any cutting capacity separately from gripping capacity.

Next, confirm the selected tool’s insulation rating where the task requires it. Finally, quote the full model number, because the UNIFOX variants have different shapes and features.
