How to use

Use the pliers to grip or bend wire with the jaws, align wire into the precision cutting edges to cut medium-hard or hard wire, and pass insulated conductors through the stripping holes to remove insulation. Place end sleeves into the crimping zone and compress firmly to form secure crimps. Maintain a firm, controlled grip and position hands safely clear of cutting edges during operation.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance and longevity, keep the pliers clean and lightly oiled after use, avoid cutting materials beyond recommended hardness, and inspect cutting edges regularly. Store the tool dry to prevent corrosion.
