PRO USER 6" Side Cutter Pliers

These pliers are designed for cutting soft to medium-hard wires, such as electrical wire, copper wire, aluminum wire, and plastic cable ties. They are not suitable for hardened steel or thick metal rods.

Wipe them clean with a dry cloth after use, and periodically lubricate the pivot joint with light machine oil. Store in a dry place to prevent rust.

For general electrical wiring and stripping, they are suitable. However, for cutting very thick gauge cables or performing heavy-duty tasks, larger or specialized cutters may be required.

Side cutters are designed for cutting wires close to a surface. Diagonal cutters have angled blades that provide a flush cut, often used for trimming component leads on circuit boards or general wire cutting.

While the handles offer a good grip, these pliers are primarily designed for cutting. Repeatedly using them for gripping or bending may stress the cutting edges and affect their cutting performance.

Drop forging is a process where steel is heated and then shaped under extreme pressure. This process aligns the grain structure of the metal, making it significantly stronger, tougher, and more resistant to wear and breakage compared to other manufacturing methods.

Check the pivot joint for debris or damage. Clean and lubricate the joint. If damage is visible, the pliers may need replacement.

Wipe the handles with a slightly damp cloth and ensure they are completely dry. Avoid exposure to oils or solvents that could degrade the rubber coating.

Clean any dirt or grime from the pivot area and apply a small amount of lubricating oil. Work the handles back and forth to distribute the oil.
