FAQs
Can these pliers be used for live electrical work?
No, these pliers are not insulated. You should never use them on live electrical circuits or components.
What is the longest tool in the set?
The long nose plier is the longest tool in the set, measuring 200mm.
Are these tools suitable for cutting thick steel rods?
These pliers are designed for standard wire and small fasteners; attempting to cut hardened steel or oversized rods may damage the cutting edges.
How should I clean the tools after use?
Use a dry cloth to wipe away dust and debris. If they become wet, ensure they are dried thoroughly to prevent rust.
Are the handles replacement parts available?
The handles are fixed to the tools for safety and durability; individual replacement handles are not provided.
Troubleshooting
Pliers feel stiff when opening or closing
Apply a small amount of machine oil to the pivot joint and work the handles back and forth to distribute the lubricant.
Jaw grip feels slippery on smooth surfaces
Clean the jaw teeth with a wire brush to remove any built-up grease or debris that might be preventing a secure bite.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These tools arrive ready for immediate use. To maintain the longevity of your Minotaur pliers, wipe the jaws clean after use to remove debris, metallic filings, or moisture, which can cause oxidation over time. Periodically apply a light coating of machine oil to the pivot point to ensure smooth opening and closing action. Store the pliers in a dry environment and avoid using them as a hammer, as striking the handles can compromise their structural integrity. Always choose the correct size and type of plier for the specific task to avoid damaging the tool's teeth or cutting edges.
