How should I maintain these pliers?

Can I use these pliers for cutting wire?

Troubleshooting

Pliers feel stiff or difficult to open/close

Apply a small amount of light machine oil to the pivot joint and work the handles back and forth to loosen it. Ensure no debris is caught in the joint.

Jaws do not grip securely

Ensure the correct adjustment position is selected for the object being gripped. Check jaws for excessive wear or damage. Clean any oil or grease from the jaw surfaces.

Handles feel slippery

The PVC dipped handles are designed for grip. If they feel excessively slippery, ensure your hands are clean and dry. Clean the handles with a slightly damp cloth if necessary.
