The Ryobi 160mm Cable Cutting and Stripping Pliers are designed for electricians, DIY enthusiasts, and home renovators who require a reliable, multi-functional tool for handling electrical wiring. These pliers excel at providing clean cuts and precise stripping for cables up to 5mm, though they are specifically optimized for light to medium-duty electrical tasks and may struggle with extremely heavy-gauge industrial armored cabling.

No, these pliers are designed for copper and aluminum electrical cables. Cutting steel or hard metal will damage the jaws.
No, these are standard tools and are not rated for use on live electrical circuits. Always ensure power is disconnected before working.
The pliers are rated for a stripping and cutting capacity ranging from 0.5mm to 5mm.
The ergonomic grips are designed for a high-friction hold, but ensure your hands are free of grease or oil before use for the best results.
They are ideal for domestic and light electrical tasks, but should not be used for heavy industrial-gauge cabling.
Apply a small drop of lubricant to the pivot point and work the handles back and forth to distribute the oil.
Check for debris or plastic build-up in the cutting area; clean with a wire brush if necessary. Ensure the cable is placed squarely within the cutting notch.
These pliers require no special setup; they are ready for immediate use out of the packaging. To maintain the tool's performance, wipe the jaws clean after use to remove any plastic insulation residue or copper shavings. Periodically apply a light coating of machine oil to the pivot joint to ensure the opening and closing action remains smooth. Store the pliers in a dry environment to prevent surface oxidation on the exposed metal parts. Avoid using the tool on live electrical circuits to ensure user safety and prevent damage to the jaw edges.
