FAQs
What is the total length of these pliers?
These pliers are 200mm long, which is equivalent to 8 inches.
Are these pliers insulated for electrical work?
No, these pliers feature standard plastic handles and are not rated for live electrical work. Always use VDE-rated tools for electrical safety.
What does the Ni-Fe coating do?
The Nickel-Iron (Ni-Fe) coating provides a protective barrier against corrosion, helping to prevent rust even if the tool is exposed to humid environments.
Can these be used to cut hardened steel?
While the jaws are hardened, they are primarily designed for standard wire and mild steel. Cutting extremely hard materials may dull or chip the cutting edges.
How should I store these pliers?
Store in a dry tool box or on a rack. While the coating is corrosion-resistant, avoiding prolonged exposure to standing water will keep them in better condition.
Troubleshooting
Pliers feel stiff or difficult to open
Apply a drop of light machine oil to the pivot point and cycle the pliers open and closed several times to work the lubricant into the joint.
Cutting edges are failing to cut cleanly
Ensure you are using the designated cutting area near the pivot point. If the jaws are nicked, inspect for debris and remove it; if metal is deformed, the tool may require professional sharpening or replacement.
Pros and Cons
Pros

- Corrosion-resistant Ni-Fe coating enhances durability

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These pliers require no special setup; they are ready for use immediately out of the package. To maintain the life of your Neilsen pliers, keep the pivot point lubricated with a light machine oil every few months to ensure smooth opening and closing. Wipe the jaws clean after use, especially if they come into contact with moisture or chemicals, to maximize the effectiveness of the Ni-Fe corrosion-resistant coating. Do not use these pliers as a hammer or pry bar, as excessive force on the handles or sides can lead to deformation or damage to the pivot.
