FAQs

What type of wire can these pliers cut?

These pliers are specifically designed to cut ISO standard piano wire and similar hard wires.

Can these pliers be used for general gripping tasks?

Yes, the serrated flat jaws provide a good grip for general use, but their primary strength is in cutting hard wires.

What is the overall length of the pliers?

The overall length of these pliers is 160mm.

How should I maintain these pliers to ensure longevity?

Clean them after use, lubricate the pivot point periodically, and store them in a dry place.

Are these pliers suitable for electrical wire stripping?

While they can cut electrical wire, they are not designed for stripping insulation. They are primarily for cutting the wire itself.

What is the manufacturer's part number for this product?

The manufacturer's part number is 4950-160.

Troubleshooting

Pliers feel stiff or difficult to open/close

Clean the pivot joint and apply a small amount of lubricant. Ensure no debris is lodged in the mechanism.

Cutting is not clean or requires excessive force

Check that the cutting edge is aligned and free from damage. Ensure the wire being cut is within the pliers' specified capacity (e.g., ISO standard piano wire).

Jaws do not grip firmly

Clean the serrated jaws to remove any residue. Inspect for damage that might be preventing a secure grip.

Care:
