Specifications

What's included

• 1 × 7" combination pliers (gripping, bending, wire cutting)
• 1 × 6" adjustable wrench (adjustable jaw for multiple fastener sizes)
• 1 × slotted screwdriver (SL5.5 × 100mm)
• 1 × Phillips screwdriver (PH1 × 100mm)
• 1 × voltage test pencil (100-500V AC range for electrical circuit testing)
• 1 × 3m steel measuring tape
• 1 × 9mm snap-off blade knife (utility knife for cutting)

How to use

• Combination pliers: Use for gripping, holding, bending wire, and light cutting tasks. The serrated jaws provide secure grip on various materials and components. The integrated wire cutter section handles thin wire and cable. Essential for holding nuts while tightening bolts, bending wire, and gripping small parts.
• Adjustable wrench: Turn the adjustment wheel to open or close the jaw to fit the fastener size (typically fits 6-18mm range). Ensure the wrench fits snugly before applying force. Position the wrench so pulling force is applied to the fixed jaw for maximum strength and safety. Ideal for furniture assembly, plumbing fittings, and general fastening work.
• Screwdrivers: Match the screwdriver type to the screw head - slotted (flat blade) for traditional slotted screws, Phillips (cross-head) for Phillips screws common in furniture and appliances. Insert the screwdriver fully into the screw slot and apply steady downward pressure while turning to prevent slippage and damage. The 100mm length provides good leverage for general household tasks.
• Voltage test pencil: CRITICAL SAFETY TOOL - Before working on any electrical circuit, switches, sockets, light fixtures, or appliances, use the test pencil to verify power is off. Touch the metal tip to conductors or terminals while holding the tool body - the indicator will light if voltage is present (100-500V AC range). Always turn off power at the circuit breaker before performing electrical work and follow proper electrical safety procedures. Never rely solely on wall switches to disconnect power.
• Measuring tape: Pull the steel tape to the desired length and use the lock button (if available) to hold the measurement. Take accurate measurements for furniture placement, picture hanging, shelf installation, DIY projects, or material cutting. The 3m (approximately 10 feet) length covers most household measuring needs. Allow the tape to retract smoothly - don't let it snap back to prevent damage.
• 9mm snap-off blade knife: Extend the blade segment to the desired length and lock securely using the blade lock. Use for cutting packaging, cardboard, tape, plastic strapping, and general materials. When the blade becomes dull, unlock it, extend further to reveal a fresh edge, and re-lock. When all segments are used, snap off the used segments at the break-off grooves using pliers to reveal fresh sharp blade. Always cut away from your body and keep fingers clear of the blade path.
• Select the appropriate tool for the task: Use pliers for gripping and wire work, adjustable wrench for nuts and bolts, screwdrivers for fasteners, voltage tester for electrical safety checks, measuring tape for dimensions, and knife for cutting materials.
• Use correct size and type to avoid damage: Match screwdriver type to screw head (slotted or Phillips). Adjust wrench jaw to fit fasteners snugly. Using incorrect tools or poor fit can damage fasteners, workpieces, and the tools themselves.
• Apply steady pressure and work safely: Use controlled, steady force rather than sudden jerking motions. Wear safety glasses when working overhead or when cutting. Ensure electrical power is verified off before working on circuits. Keep fingers clear of cutting edges, pinch points, and striking zones.
• Store tools properly after use: After completing tasks, wipe tools clean and return to the blister pack or other dry storage. Keeping tools organized prevents loss, protects them from damage, and maintains readiness for future tasks.

Care & maintenance

• Wipe tools clean after use to remove dirt, dust, grease, and debris.
• Store in a dry place to prevent corrosion of steel tools and components.
• Keep combination pliers jaws and cutting edges clean and free from wire residue.
• Check adjustable wrench adjustment mechanism periodically - clean and lubricate if movement becomes stiff.
• Test voltage tester indicator periodically on a known live circuit to verify it's functioning correctly before relying on it for safety.
• Keep measuring tape blade clean - wipe before retracting to prevent dirt from entering the case mechanism.
• Replace snap-off knife blades when all segments are used or the blade becomes damaged - replacement blades available separately.
• Inspect tools occasionally for wear or damage - replace damaged tools promptly for safety.
• Check screwdriver tips for wear or damage - worn tips slip and damage screw heads.
• Store in the original double blister pack or other protective container to prevent tools from damage and keep organized.

Can it be used for furniture assembly?

Yes, it can be used for basic furniture assembly and adjustments. The adjustable wrench handles various bolt sizes, the screwdrivers tackle common furniture screws, the pliers assist with difficult components and holding nuts, and the measuring tape helps with alignment and placement. For furniture with hex/Allen bolts, you may need additional hex keys.

Yes. Larger Ingco hand tool sets are available for more demanding tasks: 29-piece household set (HKTV01H291), 32-piece set (HKTHP10321), 100-piece industrial set (HKTHP21001), 120-piece set (HKTHP21201), and 168-piece comprehensive household kit (HKTHP21681).

Can I test electrical circuits with this set?

Yes. The included voltage test pencil (100-500V AC) allows you to safely test electrical circuits, switches, sockets, and light fixtures to identify live wires before working. Always turn off power at the circuit breaker before performing electrical work and follow proper electrical safety procedures. The test pencil should be tested periodically on a known live circuit to verify proper operation.

What is the adjustable wrench suitable for?

The 6" adjustable wrench is suitable for tightening and loosening nuts, bolts, and fittings typically ranging from 6-18mm in size. It's ideal for furniture assembly, plumbing fittings, appliance connections, bicycle maintenance, and general fastening work around the home. The adjustable jaw eliminates the need for multiple fixed-size spanners in a basic toolkit.

The 7-piece set (HKTH10807) provides the absolute essential core tools at minimum investment, ideal for basic needs and tight budgets. The 29-piece set (HKTV01H291) adds diagonal cutting pliers, 20 precision screwdriver bits for electronics, precision handle, and stackable storage box, making it more comprehensive for varied tasks. Choose the 7-piece for basic essentials or the 29-piece for broader coverage.
