FAQs
What material is this plier made from?
The plier is constructed from durable Chrome-Vanadium (Cr-V) steel.
What is the primary function of this plier?
Its primary function is diagonal cutting of wires, cables, and similar materials.
How do I maintain the plier for best results?
Keep it clean and dry after use, lubricate the pivot occasionally, and store it in a dry place. Avoid using it for excessively hard materials.
Is this plier suitable for home use?
While it can be used for home tasks, it is specifically designed and built for the durability required in industrial environments. For very light, occasional use, a smaller or less robust plier might suffice.
What does 'two-component plastic handle' mean?
It means the handle is made of two different types of plastic molded together, typically offering a softer, non-slip grip surface over a harder base for improved comfort and control.
What is the finish on the plier?
The plier has a black finish, which helps to protect it from rust and wear.
Troubleshooting
Cutting edges are dull or not cutting cleanly.
Ensure the plier is clean and free of debris. If dullness persists, the cutting edges may need professional sharpening or the plier may need replacement if extensively worn.
Pivot joint is stiff or difficult to open/close.
Clean the pivot area thoroughly and apply a light lubricating oil. Work the joint back and forth to distribute the lubricant. If stiffness persists, check for bent components or debris lodged in the joint.
Handle feels loose or wobbly.
Check the pivot screw for tightness. If the handles themselves are loose from the metal, this may indicate damage and require replacement of the tool.
