Using the Klein J206-8C All-Purpose Pliers is easy. For wire stripping and cutting, simply place the wire in the appropriate opening and squeeze the handles. The long nose can be used to grab and loop wires. When shearing screws, put the screw in the designated holes and apply pressure. Remember, these pliers aren't insulated, so don't use them on live electrical wires. To keep them in good shape, clean them after use with a dry cloth. Avoid dropping them or using them for jobs they're not designed for, as this could damage the forged steel construction. Also, check the hot-riveted joint regularly to make sure it's still working smoothly.
