How to use: Simply hold the pliers by the plastic-dipped handles. Place the wire, screw, or nail you want to cut between the jaws and squeeze firmly. The high-leverage design will do the hard work for you. When working in confined spaces, use the angled head to get the job done easily. Note: Don't use these pliers for cutting materials that are harder than they're designed for, as this may damage the cutting knives. Also, keep them away from water and moisture to prevent rusting. Maintenance: After each use, wipe the pliers clean with a dry cloth. You can also apply a light coat of oil to the cutting knives and the joint to keep them in good condition. Store them in a dry place to extend their lifespan.
