FAQs

Are the handles insulated for electrical work?

No, the handles are plastic-coated for grip but are not insulated for protection against electrical shock. Do not use near live electrical sources.

What types of wire can these pliers cut?

They are designed to cut hard, medium-hard, and soft wires effectively.

What is the cutting length of these pliers?

The cutting length is 11 cm.

How should I maintain these pliers?

Clean after use, lubricate the pivot occasionally, and store in a dry place to prevent rust.

What material are the pliers made from?

They are manufactured from vanadium electric steel, oil-hardened, and tempered.

What does 'induction hardened cutting edges' mean?

It means the cutting edges have been specially treated with heat and electricity to make them exceptionally hard and sharp, ensuring a longer lifespan and better cutting performance.

Troubleshooting

Cutting edges are dull or not cutting cleanly

Ensure the tool is being used on the appropriate wire type. For dullness, professional sharpening or replacement may be necessary as the edges are induction hardened and not designed for user sharpening.

Pliers feel stiff or difficult to open/close

Apply a small amount of light machine oil to the pivot joint. Clean any debris from the joint area.

Rust spots appear on the tool

Clean the rust with a fine-grit abrasive pad or steel wool. Apply a light coat of oil to protect the surface and store in a dry place.
