Using your Klein Tools all - purpose crimping pliers is easy. For wire stripping, place the wire in the appropriate slot and squeeze the pliers to remove the insulation. To cut wire, position it between the cutting edges and apply pressure. When crimping non - insulated connectors, lugs, or terminals, put the connector in the crimper part and squeeze firmly. For screw shearing, place the screw in the designated area and press down. When using the long nose to reach tight spaces, be careful not to apply too much force to avoid bending the nose. As for maintenance, after each use, wipe the pliers clean with a dry cloth to remove any dirt or debris. Keep them in a dry place to prevent rust. If you notice any damage or if the pliers don't work as well as before, it might be time to have them checked or replaced.
