Combination plier set

The ORBIS combination plier set range brings together ready-packed configurations of 3, 4, 6 and 7 pieces, instead of buying each plier separately. The page gathers the Basic, EvoLine, Profi and Superior Standard lines, with common contents including 15-200 long nose pliers, 28-160 side cutters, flat-nose gripping pliers, 48-160 wire strippers and 49-180 crimping pliers.

Handles are identified by code: black-red 20RR, chrome-plated 35RR, red PVC 2622 and 2022, together with VDE 1000V insulated handles coded 40RV and 44RV. Packaging options include plastic cases with moulded trays, printed carton boxes with a window, polyester roll-up pouches and zip bags. The content below analyses configurations by piece count, function and how to choose according to the working environment, with item codes for reference. ORBIS goods are genuine imports, distributed with a commitment on origin.

A combination plier set gathers the most commonly used pliers into a ready-packed configuration, letting users start work without buying each piece separately. The ORBIS product group here ranges from a basic three-piece set to a seven-piece set combining pliers and screwdrivers, along with six-piece sets for professional tradespeople and electronics technicians. Common configurations include 15-200 long nose pliers, 28-160 side cutters, flat-nose gripping pliers and 48-160 wire strippers.

Some sets add water pump pliers in three sizes, 49-180 crimping pliers or EvoLine curved-jaw combination pliers. Handles are classified by colour code and insulation level: black-red 20RR handles, chrome-plated black-red 35RR handles, red PVC dipped handles 2622 and 2022, sandblasted black-red 3SM2 handles, together with VDE 1000V insulated handles coded 40RV and 44RV.

Packaging is equally varied, including plastic cases with moulded trays, attractively printed carton boxes with a window, polyester roll-up pouches, zip bags, zipped polyester fabric cases and vinyl bags for shelf hanging. The main lines appearing in this group are Basic I, Basic III, Basic IV, EvoLine I, EvoLine III, EvoLine IV, Profi I, Universal I, Universal II, BasicLine and Superior Standard.

Buyers can therefore choose by the number of pieces needed, by whether the working environment involves live electricity, and by the preferred storage format. The sections below present each sub-topic so you can quickly locate a suitable configuration, with specific item codes for looking up details on the corresponding product page.

Set configurations by number of pieces

The number of pieces determines the range of work a set covers. This group includes three-piece sets for basic needs, four-piece sets adding one more function, six-piece sets for tradespeople handling many types of work, and seven-piece sets combining pliers with screwdrivers. This division helps buyers balance initial cost against how well equipped the toolbox is.

Three-piece sets focus on gripping, cutting and stripping wire. Representative codes include 44RV03S, 76-7230-44RV, 76-7130-20RR and 76-2930-20RR. The usual configuration is 15-200 long nose pliers and 28-160 side cutters together with wire strippers or flat-nose gripping pliers.

Four-piece sets add one more plier for a specific group of tasks. You can refer to 75-0400-20RR, 75-0400-40RV, 76-1540-20RR and two Universal II codes, namely 76-1940-40RV and 76-1940-44RV.

Six- and seven-piece sets are aimed at people working in the trade regularly. The Profi I line offers 76-2660-20RR and 76-2660-35RR with six pliers in a case with a foam tray. The seven-piece group combining pliers and screwdrivers includes 76-7170-44RV, 76-1830-44RV and 76-6600-40RV.

VDE 1000V insulated plier sets

Work near live parts requires handles insulated to the proper standard. In this group, codes ending in 40RV and 44RV carry VDE 1000V insulated handles. They appear in many different configurations, from entry-level three-piece sets to seven-piece sets with screwdrivers, so users can keep the same insulation level when increasing the number of tools.

The insulated three-piece group includes Basic I with 76-2930-40RV and 76-2930-44RV, and Basic III with 76-7230-40RV. The insulated EvoLine line offers 76-3210-40RV, 76-3210-44RV, 76-1210-40RV and 76-1210-44RV.

When screwdrivers are needed within the same set, see 75-1000-40RV, supplied in a zipped polyester fabric pouch, containing four pliers and seven screwdrivers. The codes 76-7170-40RV, 76-1830-40RV and 76-6600-44RV follow the same approach.

Specialised plier lines in the group

Besides the general-purpose sets, the group also has configurations for narrower tasks. Water pump pliers serve for gripping pipes and round parts in many sizes. Electronics pliers suit small operations on circuit boards. Crimping pliers handle wire terminal connections. Choosing the right specialised line helps reduce damage to part surfaces and shortens working time.

The Superior Standard water pump plier set comprises three sizes: 77-175 at 175 mm, 77-255 at 255 mm and 77-305. Two packaging options are available: 76-4140-2622 in a carton box with a moulded tray, and 76-3140-2022 in a vinyl bag for retail shelf hanging.

For fine electronics work, 75-0660-0000 contains six BasicLine pliers with riveted single joints and double leaf springs, supplied in a zipped polyester fabric case. For conductor connection work there is 76-3300-2622 with 49-180 crimping pliers measuring 180 mm, crimping tubular terminals from 0.25 to 16 mm².

The EvoLine line also includes the four-piece cable work tool set 76-4200-20RR, with 21-185 EvoMax XL curved-jaw combination pliers. The three-piece EvoLine sets use 21-150 EvoTel curved-jaw long nose pliers, suited to work in confined spaces.

Packaging and handle codes

The type of case affects how tools are transported and stored. A plastic case with a moulded tray keeps each piece in its position, making it easy to check the count after a shift. An attractively printed carton box with a window suits shelf display. Roll-up pouches and zip bags in polyester fabric fold away compactly and are easy to carry on site.

The handle code indicates the grip covering. Black-red 20RR handles appear on 76-3100-20RR, while the chrome-plated 35RR version is found on 76-7130-35RR. Red PVC dipped 2022 handles are used for 76-3100-2022, and the sandblasted handle version carries the code 76-2930-3SM2.

Guidance on choosing by need

Start from the working environment. If working near electrical equipment, choose a configuration with VDE 1000V insulated handles. If the work is mainly mechanical, craft workshop or general maintenance, the black-red handle and red PVC handle sets will serve. Then consider the number of pieces used daily, and only after that choose the case type according to how often you travel.

Those setting up a first toolbox often start with a three- or four-piece set. Tradespeople covering many tasks should look at the six-piece Profi I set or the seven-piece set with screwdrivers. For specialised work such as pipe gripping, electronics or crimping, go straight to the corresponding line rather than expanding a general-purpose set.

You can filter by number of pieces, handle code and case type directly on the listing page to narrow the options. To compare the contents of each set, open the detail page of the corresponding item code.
