This Klein Tools product includes one pair of long nose side-cutters. These pliers are built to last with induction-hardened cutting knives. Their heavier build offers more cutting power, and they can cleanly strip 12 AWG solid wire. The hot-riveted joint ensures smooth operation and no handle wobbling. The tough, black material makes them durable. The color-coded yellow/black Journeyman™ handles allow for quick identification. Made from custom US tool steel, these pliers are top-notch. With an overall length of 8.563 inches (21.8 cm), they have a slim head that can easily access confined areas. The extended handles provide extra reach and leverage. The innovative dual-material Journeyman™ grips are more comfortable and longer-lasting than other handles, making cutting easier and more comfortable.
Using these Klein Tools long nose side - cutters is straightforward. For stripping 12 AWG solid wire, place the wire in the appropriate stripping area and gently squeeze the handles. To cut, position the wire or object between the cutting knives and apply pressure. When using in confined areas, the slim head will help you reach the target easily. For safety, always wear appropriate hand protection. Avoid using the pliers on materials that exceed their cutting capacity as this may damage the tool. After each use, wipe the pliers clean with a dry cloth to remove any debris. Periodically check the hot - riveted joint for smoothness. If the handles start to show signs of wear, it's a good idea to replace them to maintain comfort and performance.
