5.5.2 Permanent Set. Permanent set of the handles for all types, except Type II, shall not exceed 0.04 in. (1.0 mm) when subjected to the handle load test specified in para. 6.4. Handles contacting each other during load testing shall constitute failure.
5.5.3 Comfort Grips. When comfort grips are fur- nished on handles, they ch& be made of rubber, plastic, or other suitable material capable of withstanding nor- mal use without deteriorating or rubbing off and shall pass the solvent resistance test specified in para. 6.5. Comfort grips shall remain permanently attached under normal use. WARNING: COMFORT GRIPS ON HANDLES ARE NOT INTENDED TO GIVE ANY DEGREE OF PROTECTION AGAINST ELECTRIC SHOCK AND SHALL NOT BE USED ON OR NEAR LIVE ELECTRIC CIRCUITS.
5.6 Joint
5.6.1 Construction. When pliers are opened or closed, there shall be no excessive sideways movement, play, or other indication of looseness that will affect their function.
5.6.2 Fastener Hardness. The fastener hardness s h d be from 25 HRC to 50 HRC except when the fastener receives a case hardening treatment in addition to the through hardening, a maximum hardness equivalent to 60 HRC shall be permitted. 5.7 jaws 5.7.1 Jaw Opening. Jaw opening shall be measured at tip of the jaws. Jaws shaii open in a smooth and uniform manner to the respective minimum jaw opening as specified in applicable tables for individual type and class of pliers using the procedure specified in para. 6.6. Beyond minimum opening, jaws may open with increasing loads until the positive stop of the tool is engaged.
5.7.2 Cutting Edge Hardness. Cutting edges shall have a hardness from 55 HRC to 65 HRC or equivalent. The balance of the jaw area shall have a minimum hard- ness of 35 HRC.
5.7.3 Cushion Grip Throat. Type I Class 3 pliers shali grip and retain cut wire end. The cushion grip throat shall be made of rubber, plastic, or other suitable mate- rial capable of withstanding normal use without deterio- rating or rubbing off and shall pass the solvent resistance test specified in para. 6.5. Cushion grip throat shall remain permanently attached under normal use. 5.8 Springs When a spring (or springs) is furnished, it shall be captive, durable, and capable of opening the jaws under normal use. The spring shall open the jaws to minimum jaw opening as specified in the applicable tables.
5.9 Finish
5.9.1 Appearance. Pliers shall have finished surfaces as indicated in Fig. 1. These surfaces shall have a maxi- mum surface roughness of 63 kin. (1.6 km), arithmetic average. Measurement of the finish shall be made with an instrument using a cutoff length of 0.03 in. (0.8 m) (refer to ACME B46.1). All other surfaces shall be free of pits, burrs, cracks, and other conditions that may adversely affect the performance or appearance of the pliers. 5.9.2 Coating. All metal surfaces shall be coated to inhibit rust. Coatings shall be adherent, smooth, and continuous, and free from pits, blisters, nodules, and any other conditions that would interfere with their pro- tective value and serviceability.
5.10 Marking Pliers shall be marked in a plain and permanent man- ner with the manufacturer’s name or with a trademark of such known character that the source of manufacture and country of origin shall be readily determined. Mark- ing shall be as permanent as the n o m l life expectancy of the pliers to which it is applied (providing the marked surface has not then been subjected to a fretting or abrad- ing action) and be capable of withstanding the cleaning normally experienced during its intended use.
6 TEST PROCEDURES 6.1 Safety WARNING: MANY TESTS REQUIRED HEREIN ARE INHER- ENTLY HAZARDOUS AND ADEQUATE SAFEGUARDS FOR PERSONNEL AND PROPERTY SHALL BE EMPLOYED IN CONDUCTING SUCH TESTS.
6.2 Cut Tests Cut tests shall be performed per para. 5.2 of ACME B107.25M. Wire diameter and handle load are shown in Table 2 herein.
6.2.1 Steel Wire. Steel wire for cut tests shall be uncoated single-stranded having minimum tensile strength of 180,000 psi (1 240 MPa) for Style A; 90,000 psi (620 MPa) for Style B; and 70,000 psi (400 MPa) for Style C. Wire being cut may be loosely supported at the jaws by the operator in the manner ordinarily employed.
6.2.2 Steel Wire Cut Test for Types I, II, and 111. Three cuts shall be made at the joint end of the cutting edges, and the load required to completely sever the wire shall not exceed the maximum handle load. Load shall be applied at the point of maximum handle curvature (nor- mal gripping position).
6.2.3 Steel Wire Cut Test for Type IV. A total of nine cuts shall be made. Three cuts shall made at the approxi- mate midpoint of the cutting edges, and the test load required to completely sever the wire shall not exceed the maximum handle load. Three cuts shall be made at each end of the cutting edges with the wire located not more than 0.13 in. (3.3 mm) from the respective ends. Load shall be applied at the point of maximum handle curvature (normal gripping position). Load determina- tions shall not be required for cuts made at the ends of the cutting edges.
