Are these tools insulated for electrical work?

Troubleshooting

ErgoStrip not stripping wire cleanly

Ensure the wire diameter is within the tool's range (Ø 8.0 – 13.0 mm). Verify the stripping depth is correctly set if adjustable. Check the cutting blades for any debris or damage.

Pliers or cutters feel stiff

Clean the pivot joint and apply a small amount of lubricating oil. Check for any foreign objects obstructing the joint. Ensure the tools are not being used for material beyond their specified capacity.

Diagonal cutter not cutting thicker wires effectively

Confirm the wire diameter is within the cutter's capacity. Ensure the cutting edges are sharp and free from nicks. For very hard materials, a specialized cutter may be required.

Tools show signs of rust

Clean the rusted area with a fine-grade steel wool or rust remover. Dry the tools thoroughly and apply a light protective oil coating. Store in a dry place.
