X-ON Heyco 0022 R-29 STANDARD STRAIN RELIEF PLIERS (each)

The Heyco #0022 in my opinion are more or less the same as the #0030 set. Both can be adjusted (fixed opening) to fit smaller or larger diameter strain reliefs by unscrewing the center pivot screw and adjusting the geared jaw piece and setting the preferred opening distance. They are moderately easy to adjust. The only down-side is that they are kind of clunky and loose fitting. You also have to be careful with the spring when setting the preferred size. They also seem a little pricey too. Other than that, they are more or less THE standard for strain relief pliers. I would recommend them over many other cheaper ones, or pliers (needle nose or other tools).

I have been dealing with strain reliefs on cords for decades; I recently was talking with a technician I respect and he showed me these Heyco pliers. Looked pretty handy but the cost from my usual oulets was pretty steep. I checked on Amazon and found these for $15 under the going rate; I no longer have to mangle strain reliefs and chassis faceplates with improvised tools. The item was delivered in great shape and very quickly!

Not easy to adjust the size.

This tool costs a bit more than import knock offs but it is 100% QUALITY. It does the job!

Then price is competitive, and delivery was very good which is important for us.
