Using these Klein Tools pliers is easy. Just grip the Dual - material Journeyman™ handles firmly and position the jaws around the item you want to cut, like screws, nails, or ACSR. The angled blade design helps you reach into tight spots. When cutting, use the high - leverage design to your advantage for more cutting power. As for maintenance, keep the pliers clean. After use, wipe them down with a dry cloth to remove any debris. Avoid using them on materials that are too hard for the pliers' capacity, as this can damage the cutting knives. Store them in a dry place to prevent rusting. If you notice the cutting performance decreasing, it might be time to check the induction - hardened cutting knives for any signs of wear.
