FAQs
Can these pliers cut steel cable?
These pliers are designed for copper and aluminum electrical wires up to 2.0 mm. They are not intended for cutting hardened steel cables or piano wire.
Are the handles insulated for live voltage?
The TPR handles are ergonomic and non-slip but they are not VDE/IEC certified insulated handles. Do not use this tool on live electrical circuits.
What is the total length of the tool?
The total length is 200 mm (approximately 8 inches).
Can I use these to strip stranded wire?
Yes, but ensure the wire gauge fits the designated notch. Be careful to apply steady pressure to avoid clipping individual strands of the stranded wire.
How do I prevent the pliers from rusting?
The tool features a blackening finish, but you should still keep it dry and wipe it down with a light oil if it becomes wet.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty in cutting wire smoothly
Ensure the wire is placed near the hinge/pivot point rather than the tip of the pliers to maximize the leverage force.
Insulation not stripping cleanly
Verify you are using the correct AWG notch for the wire size. Ensure the wire is inserted fully and pull straight off rather than at an angle.
Stiff opening or closing action
Clean any debris or dust from the pivot joint and apply a small drop of lubricant to the hinge, working the pliers back and forth to distribute the oil.
Pros and Cons

Not suitable for extremely delicate electronics work
Stripping notches are fixed and not adjustable
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Usage: Use the side cutting blades for cutting wires up to 2.0 mm in diameter. Ensure the wire is placed deep into the cutting jaw for maximum leverage.
Compatibility: The stripping notches are strictly compatible with 10, 12, 14, and 16 AWG wires. Using these notches on wire sizes outside of this range may result in nicked copper conductors.
Care: Wipe the pliers with a clean, dry cloth after each use. Apply a light coating of machine oil to the pivot point and the cutting edges periodically to ensure smooth operation and prevent corrosion, especially after working in humid conditions. Store in a dry tool pouch.
