The size of the outdoor clamp head has a multi-faceted impact on the use experience, the following is a specific introduction:
Operation Convenience
1. Small outdoor tongs (generally about 6-10cm in length after folding)
Easy to carry advantage: its small size makes it easy to put them into the small pocket of the backpack or hang in the waist holster, almost no space, will not add too much weight to the carrier when going out, convenient to carry anytime and anywhere, which is particularly important for hiking, mountaineering and other outdoor activities that need to minimize the weight and volume of equipment.
Operation flexibility: It performs better in handling some fine tasks, such as picking up very small parts on outdoor equipment, such as watch links, glasses screws, etc., and the tip part of the small pliers head can reach into the narrow space more accurately for operation; It can also operate more easily when trimming the line and handling thinner ropes (such as fishing line, kite line, etc.) because of its small and flexible size.
Limitations: However, due to its small size, its overall structural strength is relatively limited, and it often feels powerless when dealing with coarser and harder objects. For example, when you want to cut through thick branches to create a shelter in the wild, or cut through thick ropes, small outdoor pliers may not provide enough shear or sawing force, which can be difficult to operate.
2. Medium outdoor tongs (usually 10-15 cm in length after folding)
Function and power balance: Outdoor pliers of this size achieve a good balance in functional diversity and operating force. They both have more rich functions, such as common pliers, knives, scissors and other functions can be done more perfect, but also can handle some moderately difficult tasks. For example, it is relatively easy to cut the rope of ordinary camping tents, cut medium thickness branches to make fire, and provide enough clamping force when using pliers to pick up slightly larger objects (such as metal pipe fittings, large outdoor equipment components, etc.) to ensure stable operation.
Portability: Although the volume of the small outdoor clamp head has increased, it can still be conveniently stored in a conventional outdoor backpack, which will not occupy too much space, and will not give people too cumbersome a feeling, which is suitable for most common outdoor activities, such as camping, fishing and other scenarios.
Some fine handling is limited: However, when handling some particularly fine operations, the flexibility may be slightly reduced due to the larger size compared to the small pliers head. For example, operations such as pinching very small electronic component pins are not as accurate as small pliers that can reach into very small Spaces to perform operations.
3. Large outdoor tongs (more than 15 cm in length after folding)
Strong operating ability: With stronger structural strength and larger operating space, it has obvious advantages in the face of thicker and harder objects. For example, in the field survival scenario, it is necessary to cut a very thick tree trunk to build a stable shelter, or to deal with some tough ropes and metal chains, large outdoor pliers can provide enough force to make sawing, shearing and other operations easier to complete, and the clamping force of the pliers part is also stronger. It can be used for strong clamping and fixing of large mechanical parts (although this is relatively rare in the outdoors).
Portability and storage problems: However, its large size leads to poor portability, it is difficult to put into the ordinary backpack, usually need to be specially equipped with a larger tool kit to place, and carry more cumbersome, increasing the weight of outdoor activities, which limits its scope of application to a certain extent. It is generally only used in special scenarios such as long-term survival in the field, professional outdoor engineering, which require very high tool operation ability and do not care much about portability.
Holding Comfort
1. Small outdoor tongs
Because the overall size is small, suitable for users with small hands, they can be better controlled when holding, fingers can naturally cover the operating part, operation buttons, locks, etc., can also be easily touched with fingers, feeling more comfortable. However, for people with wide palms, holding small pliers for a long time may lead to hand fatigue, because the fingers need to be more curled up to hold the tool, unable to stretch, and the operation is not good, and it is easy to make no effort.
2. Medium outdoor pliers head
Its size is usually suitable for most people's hands, whether male or female, under the condition of moderate palm size, it is relatively fit to the hand, the fingers can naturally hold the handle, and the force is relatively smooth. During long-term use, the hand is not easy to feel excessive fatigue, which can provide a more comfortable operating experience. It is a size choice that is more in line with the public's use habits.
3. Large outdoor pliers head
Although suitable for the need for strong operation, but for most ordinary outdoor enthusiasts, its larger handle may make it difficult to hold, especially people with smaller hands are difficult to fully control, and it is easy to hold unstable situations when operating. Moreover, due to its large size, holding for a long time will cause a greater burden on the hand, which is easy to cause discomfort symptoms such as hand muscle soreness and affect the comfort of use.
Function Richness
1. Small outdoor tongs
Limited by the size of the space, the function will be relatively less, often focus on some simple, commonly used function integration, such as basic rope cutting, clamping small objects, simple cutting tools and other functions, it is difficult to accommodate more complex, large functional components, like sawing function may be due to lack of space and can not be equipped or even if there will be relatively weak, Unable to saw through objects such as thick branches well.
2. Medium outdoor pliers head
Usually can reasonably integrate more functions in a limited space, in addition to the common rope cutting, cutting, clamping and other functions, can also be equipped with some small additional functions such as bottle opener, screwdriver, etc., enrich its use scenario, make it more practical in outdoor response to a variety of daily and unexpected situations, functional design is relatively balanced, taking into account practicality and portability.
3. Large outdoor pliers head
Due to the larger space available, often can integrate more and more comprehensive functions, in addition to the basic outdoor essential functions, there may be more complex, professional functions such as files, drilling, and even some large outdoor pliers can be used as a small outdoor toolbox, but correspondingly increased its complexity and overall weight. It is necessary to weigh whether to choose such feature-rich but relatively bulky products according to the actual needs and the ability to use them.
