Maun Fencing Plier - 200 mm

These pliers are specifically designed for high-tensile electric fencing wire, which can be hard or soft. They can also cut through standard wire and grip fasteners like nuts and bolts.

The compound-lever mechanism multiplies your hand force at the cutter by approximately 25 times. This means you can cut very tough wires with significantly less effort compared to standard pliers.

While they can grip wires, these pliers are optimized for the thicker, high-tensile fencing wire. They may be too robust for delicate electrical wiring and are not insulated for use on live circuits.

To maintain sharpness, always use the cutters only on wire they are designed for. Keep the cutting edges clean and free from debris. Avoid using them for prying or twisting to prevent damage.

The parallel jaws ensure a consistent, non-slip grip along the entire length of the jaw. They also allow you to hold items like square or hexagonal fasteners securely, much like a vise.

The jaws are made of blackened steel with hardened cutting edges, and the handles are pressed steel with a rust-proof finish. They are designed for durability in demanding conditions but are not stainless steel.

This specific model (200 mm) does not feature comfort grips. Other variants may include comfort grips for enhanced user comfort during prolonged use, but the core cutting and gripping functionality remains similar.

Ensure the wire is positioned correctly within the cutting edges. Check for any debris or burrs on the jaws and clean them. If damage is apparent, the cutting edges may need professional sharpening or replacement.

Verify that the jaws are closing fully and in parallel. Clean any dirt or grease from the serrated surfaces. Ensure the wire is placed deep enough into the jaw for maximum grip.

Apply a small amount of light machine oil to the pivot point and work the handles back and forth to distribute the lubricant. Clean any accumulated dirt around the pivot.

Wipe the affected area with a fine steel wool pad, then clean and dry thoroughly. Apply a rust-inhibiting oil or lubricant to the handles for protection.
