Aven 10313 vs. 10312 Bent Nose Pliers
| Selection point | 10313 | 10312 XL |
|---|---|---|
| Jaw surface | Smooth | Smooth |
| Overall length | 152 mm; nominal 6 in | 130 mm; nominal 5 in |
| Jaw length | 40.6 mm | 49 mm |
| Head width | 10.78 mm | 10.78 mm |
| Tip width | 2 mm | 1.5 mm |
| Selection guidance | Confined-area work where a longer overall tool and this jaw profile fit the task. | Manufacturer-designated light work where its longer, narrower-tip jaws suit limited access. |
A longer overall tool does not necessarily have longer jaws: the 10313 is longer overall, while the 10312 has longer jaws. Choose by the required access, tip width, and jaw profile. Smooth jaws still require controlled pressure on delicate parts.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Aven 10313 used for?
Aven specifies this bent-nose model for working in confined areas. Its smooth jaw profile suits precision holding and positioning when that shape fits the assembly or repair task.
What are the overall and jaw lengths?
The manufacturer lists 152 mm overall length, a nominal 6-inch designation, and 40.6 mm jaw length. The head width is 10.78 mm and the tip width is 2 mm.
Does 10313 have longer jaws than 10312?
No. The 10313 is longer overall at 152 mm versus 130 mm, but its 40.6 mm jaws are shorter than the 10312's 49 mm jaws. The 10313 also has a wider tip: 2 mm versus 1.5 mm.
Are the grips ESD safe?
Aven designates the cushioned grips as ESD safe. Qualify the tool within your ESD-control program. The separate Technik Cutters certificate linked on Aven's site does not list 10313 and should not be treated as model-specific certification for these pliers.
What material and construction are used?
Aven identifies mirror-finished 410 stainless steel, induction-hardened jaws, box-joint construction, and dual leaf springs. The springs assist repeated opening and closing.
Can these replace wire cutters or insulated electrical pliers?
The 10313 is a handling tool, not a rated wire cutter. ESD-safe grips do not establish electrical insulation; do not treat these pliers as protection for work on energized circuits.
