We develop pliers like nobody else.
(1)

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 bespoke tools for corporate customers. THE SPECIALIST PLIER SPECIALISTS
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. The longest serving joined Maun before Neil Armstrong landed on the Moon. 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. WE ARE THE SPECIALIST PLIER SPECIALISTS. THAT'S WHY WE ARE NO ORDINARY PLIER MAKER. AND HAVE BEEN SINCE 1944.

😍 Oh, the Maun Steel Straight Edge… what a beauty!

Sometimes, it’s the simplest tools that make the biggest difference. Our Steel Straight Edge is designed for accuracy, reliability and precision, helping you get the job done right, time after time. Because when it comes to marking out, straight really is the way forward!

The pros? We thought you’d never ask! 👇

✔️ Mark straight lines with matchless accuracy.

✔️ Quickly check the straightness of your workpiece.

✔️ Stays firmly in place for improved precision when marking or scoring.

✔️ Features a bevelled edge for a clear, unobstructed view of your work.

✔️ The carefully considered thickness provides added safety when using a metal scriber.

And the cons? Well… 🤔

❌ You’ll want one in every size, even if you can’t quite justify why.

❌ Your tool shed may suddenly need a little more room.

❌ You might find yourself admiring a straight edge more than is strictly necessary. 😂

Jokes aside, when precision matters, having the right tool makes all the difference. Built for the demands of the job and designed with practicality in mind, the Maun Steel Straight Edge is a dependable addition to any workshop.

Whether you’re marking out, checking straightness or preparing your next project, it’s a simple tool that earns its place on the bench.

Straightforward precision. No unnecessary fuss. Just quality you can rely on.

📸 We do love a good blast from the past!

Take a look at Maun’s office team, dating back to around the 1950s! 👀

It’s incredible to see just how much the world of work has changed. Today, computers store the information, software keeps us organised, and the paperwork pile is (thankfully!) a little less intimidating. 💻

Back then, everything was done on paper… no spreadsheets, no shared drives, and definitely no “have you tried turning it off and on again?” 🤪

Some might say those were simpler times… although we’re not sure how they’d have coped without Ctrl + Z! 😂

Now it’s your turn! Do you have any photographs or memories of Maun Industries from our days based on Moor Lane in Mansfield? We’d absolutely love to see them and take a trip down memory lane with you. 😍

Are parallel pliers hard to use… and are they slowing you down? 👀

Let’s get straight to the point! When it comes to getting the job done, the right tools can make all the difference. But are parallel action pliers really as tricky to use as you might think? And could they actually help you work smarter, not harder? 🤔

We’ve explored this in our latest blog, covering what you need to know about parallel pliers and whether they deserve a place in your toolbox.

Curious? We’ll let you get back to work in a moment…

👉 But first, head over to our website and give the blog a readhttps://bit.ly/4s2QWMo
