No. These pliers are not insulated and should never be used on live electrical equipment.
The integrated wire cutter can handle screws and bolts up to 1/4 inch (6mm) in diameter.
The hardened teeth are designed for maximum grip, which can leave small indentations on softer metals.
Yes, the adjusting screw is designed to be tightened with a standard hex key for added leverage when needed.
Wipe the tool down after use to remove sweat or moisture and apply a light coat of machine oil periodically.
Yes, the heat-treated alloy steel construction makes them excellent for clamping items together during welding.
Adjust the hex key screw to tighten the jaw opening slightly before closing the handles.
Apply a small amount of machine oil to the trigger pivot and work it in to clear any debris or stiffness.
Use a progressive bite technique by making small cuts around the circumference of the bolt rather than trying to cut through in one single squeeze.
To set up the pliers, open the jaws and place the object between them. Adjust the hex key screw at the end of the handle until the jaws are just slightly tighter than the object's thickness. Close the handles to lock the jaws into place; you should feel a distinct snap indicating full locking force. To release, pull the trigger lever firmly.
Care instructions include keeping the pivot points clean and lightly oiled to ensure smooth operation. After using the wire cutter on metallic objects, ensure no burrs remain on the cutting edge that could impede future use. Store in a dry environment to prevent surface corrosion, even though the alloy steel is hardened for durability.
