FAQs
What is the maximum wire size these pliers can strip?
These pliers are designed to strip copper and aluminum wires with a diameter ranging from 0.5mm to 5mm.
Are these pliers safe to use on live electrical wires?
Yes, they are rated for working on live equipment up to 1,000V and comply with IEC 60900 standards. However, standard safety precautions for working with live electricity should always be followed.
What type of wires can be stripped?
They are suitable for stripping copper and aluminum wires.
How should I maintain the insulated handles?
Keep the handles clean and dry. Inspect them regularly for any signs of damage such as cuts, nicks, or punctures. Damaged insulation compromises safety and requires the tool to be retired from live-voltage work.
Can these pliers cut thicker cables?
These pliers are primarily designed for stripping and cutting standard electrical wires up to 5mm in diameter. They are not intended for heavy-gauge cable cutting.
What does the ERGO™ designation mean?
ERGO™ refers to Bahco's scientific approach to tool design, focusing on ergonomics to maximize efficiency, comfort, and safety for the user.
Where are these pliers manufactured?
These pliers are manufactured in France.
Troubleshooting
Wire stripping is uneven or difficult
Ensure the wire is correctly seated within the jaws and aligned with the appropriate stripping gauge. Verify the wire diameter is within the 0.5mm-5mm range. Check if the jaws are clean and free of debris.
Insulated handles feel compromised or damaged
Immediately discontinue use of the tool. Inspect the handles for cracks, cuts, or significant wear. If damage is present, the tool should not be used on or near live circuits and may need replacement.
Pliers are stiff or difficult to open/close
Clean the pivot joint and apply a small amount of light machine oil. Ensure no debris is lodged in the joint mechanism. If stiffness persists, inspect for damage.
Cutting function is not sharp
Ensure the wire is positioned correctly in the cutting portion of the jaws. If performance is degraded, the cutting edges may require professional sharpening or the tool may need replacement.
