FAQs
Can these pliers cut stainless steel wire?
The cutting edges are rated for hard wire up to 1.6 mm. While they can cut some stainless steel, ensure the wire diameter does not exceed this limit to avoid damaging the induction-hardened edges.
What is the hardness of the cutting edge?
The cutting edges are induction-hardened to approximately 60 HRC, making them durable enough for repeated use on wires within the specified diameters.
Are these pliers suitable for electrical work?
These pliers are ideal for precision electronics work, but they are not VDE-rated for high-voltage insulation. Do not use them on live electrical circuits.
What is the total weight of the tool?
The pliers weigh 72 grams, making them very lightweight for extended use.
Are the handles suitable for people with latex allergies?
The handles are made of a standard plastic coating; they do not contain natural rubber latex.
Troubleshooting
Jaws feel stiff during movement
Apply a small drop of machine oil into the joint and work the handles back and forth to distribute the lubricant.
Cutting edge not snipping clean
Inspect the cutting edge for debris or metal buildup; wipe with a clean cloth. If the edge is dull, avoid trying to cut wire exceeding the 2.2 mm specification.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These pliers require no complex setup; they are ready for use immediately out of the box. To maintain the integrity of the tool:
- Storage: Keep in a dry environment to prevent any potential oxidation over long periods, though the chrome-plated finish provides high rust protection.
- Cleaning: Wipe the jaws with a clean, dry cloth after use to remove metallic dust or debris, particularly after cutting tasks.
- Lubrication: Periodically apply a drop of light machine oil to the joint to ensure the movement remains smooth and precise.
- Usage Limits: Avoid using these for twisting heavy-gauge steel or prying items, as the fine, pointed tips are designed for delicate work and may be damaged by extreme torque.
