Using your Klein D295 - 4C electronics pliers is a breeze. For close - quarter work, just grab the plastic - dipped handles and use the miniature jaw to get a clear view of what you're doing. When you need to cut the wire precisely, the sharp, pointed nose will help you target the right spot. The spring - loaded action makes it easy to open the pliers after each cut. As for maintenance, keep the pliers clean after use. You can wipe them down with a dry cloth. Avoid using them on materials that are harder than the steel they're made of, as this could damage the cutting knives. Store them in a dry place to prevent rust. With proper care, these pliers will serve you well for a long time.
