Maun Industries Limited has been making pliers since 1944. But not ordinary pliers. We make pliers with a unique feature - the jaws always move in parallel.
Our parallel action pliers are better than conventional pliers that have a scissor action. They grip evenly along the full length of the jaw, better for holding nuts and bolts. They are ideal for gripping, manipulating or straightening wire. Our most versatile parallel pliers include a high leverage cutter. This is specifically designed for repeated cutting of hard wire without user fatigue or tool damage.
We develop pliers like nobody else. Designing and engineering them to do things that others simply don’t know how to. We offer a collection of specialist pliers, each designed to do a particular job. To do it right, first time, no compromise.
We are restless at Maun, always looking for a new problem to solve. Sometimes, our solution is not a plier. Our range includes a number of other tools, each perfect for its task. We also develop custom tools for corporate users.
The beating heart of our business is our factory in Nottinghamshire, near Sherwood Forest. Here, we have a skilled team of engineers, machinists and assemblers. On average they have 25 years’ plier-making experience.
Every day, they transform high grade steels into innovative, problem-solving pliers. Pliers that are trusted to do the job, precision-made, durable, yet affordable.
