FAQs
Are these pliers suitable for electrical work?
While these are high-quality steel pliers, they are not specifically VDE insulated. Always ensure the circuit is de-energized before performing any work.
Can I use these to cut hardened bolts?
These pliers are designed for steel wire. Cutting through hardened bolts or high-tensile fasteners may damage the cutting edges.
What does 'high-leverage' mean?
The pivot point is positioned closer to the cutting edge, which increases the amount of force applied to the material when you squeeze the handles.
How do I store the pliers correctly?
Keep them in the provided canvas roll to protect the precision-ground edges from hitting other metal tools in your toolbox.
Is the steel resistant to rust?
CR-V steel is durable, but it can rust if exposed to moisture. Always keep the tools dry and apply a light coat of oil if storing in a damp environment.
Troubleshooting
Pliers become stiff or difficult to open/close
Apply a small drop of penetrating oil to the pivot hinge and work the pliers back and forth to distribute the lubricant.
Handles sliding off
The TPR handles are designed to be permanent. If they loosen, ensure no oil or grease has contaminated the handle-to-steel bond and use a degreaser to clean the surfaces if necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
No specialized setup is required; the tools are ready to use immediately out of the roll. To maintain the integrity of your pliers, wipe them clean with a dry cloth after every use to remove moisture and debris. If working in particularly humid or wet environments, a light application of machine oil on the pivot joint will ensure smooth operation and prevent corrosion. The included canvas roll should be stored in a dry location. If the tool roll becomes dirty, spot-clean it with a mild detergent and allow it to air dry fully before returning the pliers to their slots.
