Aven Tools 10315, Technik Long Nose Pliers w/ Cutter, 4.75in
Aven Tools 10315, Technik Long Nose Pliers w/ Cutter, 4.75in
Aven Tools 10315 Technik long nose pliers combine serrated gripping jaws with built-in hardened wire-cutting blades. The compact 120.5 mm (nominal 4.75-inch) tool has 26.4 mm jaws, box-joint construction, dual leaf springs, and cushioned ESD-safe grips for general-purpose bench handling.
Best Uses / Applications
- Holding and positioning small parts during electronics assembly and repair.
- Bench tasks that call for both serrated long-nose gripping and an integrated cutter.
- Repetitive component handling at ESD-controlled workstations, subject to facility tool qualification.
- Wire-cutting tasks only after confirming the wire material and diameter are within manufacturer-approved capacity.
Key Features
- Serrated long-nose jaws with built-in hardened wire-cutting blades.
- 26.4 mm jaw length and 1.8 mm tip width.
- Mirror-finished 400-series stainless steel; Aven specifies improved rust protection compared with standard carbon-steel pliers.
- Box-joint construction supports jaw alignment and durability.
- Induction-hardened jaws for durability.
- Dual leaf springs assist repeated opening and closing.
- Cushioned grips designated ESD safe by Aven.

Aven 10315 vs. 10314: Combined Cutter or Needle Nose?
| Selection point | 10315 | 10314 |
|---|---|---|
| Jaw style | Long nose, serrated, with built-in cutter | Needle nose, serrated |
| Jaw length | 26.4 mm | 45 mm |
| Tip width | 1.8 mm | 2 mm ±0.5 mm |
| Nominal size | 4.75 in | 5.5 in |
| Selection guidance | General-purpose gripping with an integrated cutter; confirm cutting capacity first. | Light work where longer needle-nose jaws suit limited access. |
Serrations can mark delicate finishes, so use controlled gripping pressure. A combined plier/cutter should not be assumed to provide a flush cut or to cut hardened wire without a verified rating.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Aven 10315 include a cutter?
Yes. Aven describes general-purpose long nose pliers with built-in hardened wire-cutting blades and serrated jaws.
What wire gauge or material can it cut?
The current manufacturer product page does not specify a wire gauge, diameter, or material capacity. Confirm the rating with Aven before choosing it for a particular wire. Do not infer hardened-wire capacity from the hardened blades.
Are the jaws smooth or serrated?
The long-nose jaws are serrated. The jaw length is 26.4 mm, the head width is 10.78 mm, and the tip width is 1.8 mm.
How does it compare with 10314?
The 10315 combines 26.4 mm long-nose jaws with a cutter in a nominal 4.75-inch tool. The 10314 has 45 mm serrated needle-nose jaws and is described by Aven for light work where access is limited.
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 10315, despite this model's integrated cutter, and should not be treated as model-specific certification.
Are these electrically insulated or rated for energized work?
ESD-safe grips do not establish electrical insulation. Do not treat these pliers as protection for work on energized circuits.
