Setup, Compatibility & Care
These pliers are ready for use immediately out of the box. Because they are professional-grade tools, they require minimal maintenance, but following these steps will ensure they last for the duration of their lifetime guarantee:
- Cleaning: Wipe down the pliers with a clean, dry cloth after every use to remove grease, oil, and workshop debris.
- Lubrication: Periodically apply a light machine oil to the pivot point of the pliers to keep the opening and closing action smooth.
- Storage: Store the tools in a dry environment. While the Ti-Chrome finish resists corrosion, prolonged exposure to moisture can still lead to surface oxidation.
- Handling: Avoid using pliers as a hammer or pry bar, as this can damage the precision alignment of the jaws and void the guarantee.
