Recommendations

For best results, hold the pliers with a stable grip and make deliberate, controlled cuts. Inspect the plastic component before notching to avoid internal elements or wiring, and wear appropriate personal protective equipment such as safety glasses. Keep the tool clean and lightly lubricated to maintain the oil-hardened steel’s performance.
