What is the maximum wire cutting capacity?
These pliers are rated for a maximum cutting capacity of 1.6mm for hard wire and 2.5mm for medium-hard wire.
What material are the pliers made from?
They are made from drop forged chrome vanadium steel for superior strength and durability.
How should I maintain these pliers?
Keep them clean and dry, lubricate the pivot and cutting edges periodically, and store them in a dry place. Avoid exceeding their cutting capacity.
Are these pliers suitable for heavy-duty industrial cutting?
While durable, they are best suited for general-purpose cutting and gripping tasks up to their specified wire capacities. They are not designed for heavy-duty industrial applications.
What does 'DIN ISO 5746' mean?
This indicates that the pliers meet specific international standards for quality, safety, and performance, ensuring a professional-grade tool.
Can I use these pliers for electrical wire stripping?
Yes, they can be used for stripping common electrical wire gauges, especially when combined with their cutting and gripping functions.
Troubleshooting
Cutting edges appear dull or ineffective.
Ensure you are not exceeding the maximum cutting capacity for hard or medium-hard wire. Clean the cutting edges and apply a light oil. If damage is evident, professional sharpening or replacement may be needed.
Pliers feel stiff or difficult to open/close.
Check the pivot point for debris or rust. Clean the pivot and apply a small amount of lubricating oil. Work the handles back and forth to distribute the lubricant.
Handle grip feels slippery.
Ensure the PVC handles are clean and dry. Avoid using oily or greasy substances on the handles, as this can further reduce grip. If the handles are damaged, consider replacement.
