This set includes one pair of Klein Tools ironworker's pliers. These pliers are a must - have for working with soft annealed rebar tie wire. They can easily twist and cut the wire. The induction - hardened cutting knives last a long time. The hook - bend handle gives you extra leverage, and the heavy - duty knurled jaws ensure a firm grip. The spring - loaded design allows the pliers to open on their own. The hot - riveted joint provides smooth operation and no handle wobble.

Using these Klein Tools ironworker's pliers is easy. First, identify the soft annealed rebar tie wire you need to work with. Then, place the wire between the knurled jaws. For twisting, hold the pliers firmly and rotate them. To cut, squeeze the handles together. The spring - loaded design will make it open automatically after each cut. When using, make sure your hands are dry for a better grip. Don't use these pliers on materials other than soft annealed rebar tie wire, as it may damage the cutting knives. After use, wipe the pliers with a clean cloth to remove any debris. Store them in a dry place to prevent rusting. If the pliers seem to be getting stiff, you can apply a little bit of lubricant to the joint.
