How to Use Pliers to Cut Wire

Firstly, ensure you're using wire cutters or combination pliers specifically designed for cutting. Position the wire between the cutting edges near the pivot point of the tool for maximum leverage. Apply steady, even pressure to create a clean cut, keeping your hands away from the cutting area. For thicker wires, you might need to rotate the pliers slightly whilst using them to finish the job.

How to Clean Pliers

It’s a good idea to regularly wipe down your pliers with a clean, dry cloth to remove loose dirt and debris. For stubborn grime, use a mild detergent solution and a soft brush, paying special attention to the moving parts as well as the tool’s joint. Make sure that you dry your pliers immediately after cleaning, to prevent corrosion and rust. Depending on how you use the pliers on a day-to-day basis, you may want to consider applying a light coat of oil to protect the surfaces.

How Do I Remove Rust from Pliers?

You’ll first want to start by using steel wool or a wire brush to remove loose rust particles. Home solutions can sometimes work, although for best results commercial rust removers are often highly effective. After treatment, dry the pliers completely and apply a protective layer of oil to prevent future rusting.
