DRAPER EXPERT – ERGO PLUS

Review by Peter Brett

12^th October 2010

For the Draper Expert Ergo-plus VDE insulated pliers, the market has already spoken – orders have flooded in...

The Draper Expert Ergo-Plus shows that there is a difference!  “Standard” electrician’s pliers are straight, whereas the Draper Expert Ergo-Plus has a plier head bent at about ten or fifteen degrees. This major change in the way in which the pliers are held means that the users hand is presented to the task in a more natural position so that more muscle power can be applied to the handles – power where it matters!

The visual appeal of the Draper Expert Ergo-Plus design is immediately apparent.  The jaws are beautifully ground with precision cutting edges, the handles are VDE type, and are individually tested to 1000 v. There is no stiffness in the fulcrum joint and work smoothly with absolutely no-play in them.  The noses of the pliers are extremely slim compared to others on the market; this of course makes them easier to use, but would it affect the cutting power applied at the jaws?  The outcome using the pliers for normal cutting of cable ends for example, found that the Draper Expert Ergo-Plus are easier to use and give a precision cut.
