How to use

Hold the pliers by the handles with a firm but controlled grip. Use the jaws to grip or bend parts and position workpieces precisely; place wire between the cutting edges close to the pivot to achieve a clean cut. Apply steady pressure appropriate to the material; avoid twisting or applying excessive force beyond the tool's capacity. After use, wipe clean and store in a dry place to prevent corrosion and ensure reliable operation.
