How This Fits Into a Typical Job

These pliers are typically used during the assembly phase of construction or fencing projects, after materials are prepared but before final finishing. They handle the wire manipulation tasks that secure structural elements in place.

In a typical workflow, the pliers are used to twist wire connections tight, then cut off excess material, completing the fastening process in one tool. They work alongside other fencing and construction components like staples and repair spikes.

How to Use

1. Preparation: Select the appropriate wire type (soft, medium, or hard) for your project. Keep the pliers clean and free from debris to maintain accurate cuts. For fencing lines that use wire rope, finish terminations with wire rope securing clamp clips.
2. Twisting Wire: Place the wire within the optimised head, aligning it for a smooth twist. Apply firm pressure to form a secure knot.
3. Cutting Wire: Position the cutting edges around the section of wire. Squeeze the handles firmly to make a clean cut with minimal effort.
4. Maintenance: After use, wipe down the pliers to remove residue and store them in a dry location to prevent rust.

Storage and Maintenance

• Regularly clean the cutting edges to maintain sharpness.
• Store in a moisture-free area to prevent rust or corrosion, extending the tool’s working life.
• Periodically inspect the handles and cutting surfaces for wear.
