Choosing your own outdoor pliers head can be considered from the following key aspects:
First : Determine The Functional Requirements According To Tthe Type Of Outdoor Activities
1. Camping activities
If you often participate in camping, then the outdoor clamp head needs to have the following basic functions:
Rope handling function: It can easily cut the tent fixed rope of different thickness, wind rope, etc., so it must have a sharp and durable cutting edge. For example, the common nylon tent
rope, the general quality is better outdoor pliers head cutting edge can cope with freely.
Building auxiliary functions: for example, it has the function of needle-nose pliers, which is convenient for clamping and tightening operations when installing tent ground nails and adjusting
the connecting parts of metal tent poles; You can also use a straight blade knife to cut branches for fire, prepare fire materials, etc.
2. Go hiking
For hiking enthusiasts, the right outdoor clamp head should meet these functions:
Road clearing function: In the process of hiking may encounter thorns in the way, low branches, etc., the tool function with serrate blade can help saw through these obstacles, open up the
road, and ensure smooth walking.
Emergency handling function: It can open food packaging, so the straight blade knife should be sharp enough; If the clothing has a small situation such as open thread, equipped with
scissors function can be used to trim excess thread; In addition, if you encounter some simple equipment maintenance, such as the buckle of the backpack strap is loose, there are flat
nose pliers can be clamped repair.
3. Field survival training
In the field survival scenario, the functional requirements for the outdoor clamp head are more comprehensive:
Construction function: rely on its saw blade to cut off thicker branches to build a simple shelter frame, use the rope cutting function to prepare binding materials, and use the pliers function
to fix and connect each part of the structure to complete the shelter construction.
Food acquisition and handling functions: Knife functions can be used to handle captured small animals (subject to legal compliance and ethical guidelines), such as peeling, cutting meat
pieces, etc. Pincers can also be used to pick up some insect food sources (again subject to regulations), while a straight blade knife can be used to cut edible plants and so on for food.
Tool making function: With the various functions of the pliers head, such as bending, cutting, etc., to make simple hunting tools, digging tools, etc., in order to better adapt to the wild living
environment.
4. Fishing activities
When fishing, the targeted function of the outdoor clamp head is very important:
Fishing line and hook processing function: need to be able to accurately cut the tangential function of different thickness of fishing line, avoid damage to the internal fiber of the fishing line,
ensure the strength of the fishing line, while you can easily disassemble and install the fishing hook, like some special fishing line clamp head in the processing of fishing line is more
professional; It can also be used to pick up the bait with pliers for hook operation to improve fishing efficiency.
5. Mountain climbing expeditions
In the mountaineering process, the outdoor clamp head should have these corresponding functions:
Rope maintenance function: mountaineering rope is crucial, the pliers head should be able to cut the severely worn part of the rope, temporarily fixed and connected to the rope (with the
appropriate knot tying method), so there is a need for reliable rope cutting and rope clamping function, such as with adjustable clamping force of the pliers part, easy to operate the rope.
Obstacle clearing function: Encounter loose rocks, branches and other obstacles on the mountain surface, use its tool and pliers function to clean up, to ensure the safety of the
mountaineering route, so the tool should be sharp enough and strong enough to cope with relatively hard objects.
Second : Consider Quality And Durability
1. Material
Outdoor pliers are mostly made of stainless steel, of which high-quality stainless steel such as 420HC, 440C, has excellent strength, hardness and good corrosion resistance, and can be
used for a long time in outdoor humid, sand and other harsh environments without rust and damage. When viewing the product description, pay attention to its material composition, and try
to choose the pliers made of high-quality stainless steel.
2. Process details
Cutting edge quality: the cutting edge, cutting edge and other parts of the tool should be finely polished, the surface is smooth and sharp, so that the cutting and cutting operation can be
more smooth and efficient, and can maintain the sharpness for a long time, and will not be easily blunted.
Bite accuracy: The bite of the clamp part should be accurate and tight, and it can provide enough clamping force when picking up items, whether it is to pick up small parts or thicker
branches, etc., there will be no slippage, ensuring the reliability of use.
Moving parts: the functional parts are connected through the rotating shaft, lock, etc., these connection parts should be smooth, opening and closing, rotating switch function will not be
stuck, but also to ensure that it is firm enough to withstand repeated use, will not easily appear loose, fall off and other problems.
Third : Focus On Portability
1. Size
The small and lightweight outdoor clamp head is more convenient to carry, such as some styles that are about 6-10 cm in length (after folding), and can be easily hung in the holster at the
waist or put into the small pocket of the backpack, without occupying too much space and adding too much weight. However, the smaller size may limit the power of the function or
operation to some extent, which needs to be balanced according to the actual situation.
2. Storage design
The collapsible or telescopic design is ideal, so that each functional part can be packed together tightly when not in use, which not only protects the cutting edge, the mouth and other parts,
but also is convenient to carry. At the same time, a good storage design should also be equipped with a reliable locking device to prevent accidental opening during carrying, causing
security risks.
Determine The Price Range With The Budget
The price span of outdoor pliers is large, ranging from tens of yuan to thousands of yuan. In general, the lower price of the product may have a relatively single function, the material and
process are slightly worse; The more expensive products are often better in terms of function, quality, durability and so on. According to their own economic strength and the importance of
outdoor tools to determine a suitable budget range, in this range to choose cost-effective products as far as possible, to ensure that both to meet the needs of outdoor use, and will not
cause too much economic burden to themselves.
