Troubleshooting

Nipper feels stiff or difficult to open/close

Clean the pivot point and jaws of any debris. Apply a small amount of light machine oil to the pivot and work the handles back and forth.

Wire is not being cut cleanly

Ensure the correct type and thickness of wire is being used. Check the cutting edges of the jaws for damage or dullness. Clean the jaws thoroughly. If damage is present, professional service may be required.

Wire slips while twisting

Ensure the jaw faces are clean and properly aligned. Apply firm, consistent pressure when gripping the wire.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: After each use, clean the jaws to remove any debris, concrete dust, or residue. A dry cloth is usually sufficient. For stubborn residue, a lightly dampened cloth can be used, ensuring the tool is dried immediately afterward.
  2. Lubrication: Periodically apply a light machine oil to the pivot point to ensure smooth operation and prevent corrosion.
  3. Storage: Store in a dry environment to prevent rust. Avoid storing with other metal tools that could scratch the jaws or handles.
