Jonard 6-3/4" Long Nose Plier
The Jonard JIC-203 is a new hand tool built for switchboard work and other tasks that demand reach into tight spaces. Its needle-nose profile and serrated jaws grip small wires or parts securely. A built-in stripping function handles 18 AWG copper wire, adding a second job to one tool. The plier measures 6 7/8 inches overall.
Upgrade from basic combination pliers
Standard combination pliers lack the narrow nose needed for dense terminal blocks or cramped panels. The JIC-203 adds a dedicated 1/2-inch cutter and a 1/8-inch tip width that slips between tight conductors. The jump is worth it when you regularly strip 18 AWG copper and need a straight, non-insulated jaw that reaches past obstacles.
Capacity for fine gauge copper work
The tool comfortably handles 18 AWG copper wire with its cutter and stripper, while the 1 1/4-inch maximum jaw opening accepts small fittings. It runs out on larger gauges, insulated cable, or any job requiring voltage-rated insulation or non-sparking materials. Buyers who need more cutting capacity or certified safety ratings should look elsewhere.

Questions about this item
What overall length must the workbench clearance accommodate for the Jonard JIC-203?
The pliers measure 6 7/8 inches overall, so allow at least that much clear space in the tool drawer or pouch.
Which step is often missed when using the built-in stripper on 18 AWG copper wire?
Match the wire to the 18 AWG stripping notch before squeezing; using the cutter section instead nicks the conductor.
When should the cutting edges be dressed or the pliers replaced?
Replace them once the 1/2-inch cutter no longer cleanly severs 18 AWG copper or the 1/8-inch tip width shows visible wear.
