FAQs
What material are these pliers made from?

What is the maximum wire cutting capacity?
The pliers are rated to cut piano wire up to 3.8 mm in diameter.
Are these pliers suitable for heavy-duty tasks?
They are built for durability and professional use for tasks within their specified limits. For extremely heavy-duty applications beyond wire cutting and general gripping, specialized tools might be more appropriate.
How do I maintain the TPR grip handles?
Wipe them with a damp cloth and ensure they are dry. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the material.
What is the overall length of the pliers?
The overall length of these combination pliers is 23 mm.
Can I use these pliers to grip very small objects?
The 23mm jaw size is suitable for a range of applications, including gripping small to medium-sized objects. Precision for extremely fine work might require smaller, more specialized pliers.
What is the weight of the pliers?
The pliers weigh approximately 0.445 pounds (0.202 kg).
Troubleshooting
Pliers feel stiff or difficult to open/close.
Apply a small amount of lubricant to the pivot joint and work the pliers back and forth to loosen them. Ensure no debris is lodged in the pivot.
Cutting edge is not sharp or is damaged.
The cutting edge is designed for specific wire gauges. If significantly dulled or damaged from misuse (e.g., cutting thicker wire or metal harder than specified), replacement may be necessary. Avoid using the cutting edge for prying.
Grip feels slippery.
Ensure the TPR grip handles are clean and dry. Oils or grease can reduce grip effectiveness. Wash with soap and water and allow to dry thoroughly.
