Using the Ideal 45 - 715 wire stripper is a breeze. First, identify the type of wire you're working with. If it's a 10 - 18 AWG solid wire, you're good to go. Place the wire in the appropriate slot and use the thumb guide to apply pressure for stripping. The kinetic energy will help speed up the process. When you're done, make sure to use the Pocket - Locket™ to lock the tool if you're putting it in your pocket or holster. This keeps you safe from accidental cuts. For the bolt cutters, simply place the bolt between the blades and squeeze. The Shear - Cut™ design will make the cut cleanly. As for maintenance, keep the tool clean and dry. Wipe off any dirt or moisture after use. The non - slip grips are designed to last, but avoid exposing them to harsh chemicals. And remember, the color - coding is there to help you quickly find the right setting for different wire types. With these tips, you'll get the most out of your Ideal 45 - 715 wire stripper.
