Review: Best pliers on the market - Best pliers on the market ,I'm 48 year old spark and been using Klein pliers for the past 25 years this is my third pair . I used other makes. Before but they only last a year or two ,now 12 years plus with Klein a pair . Well worth the extra money Review: The best way to instantly fix stiff pliers - When you open the package, you can see the reason the pliers are stiff--notice the black carbon dust that is on the tool. That is because the iron particles become charged during the grinding process and attaches itself to the pliers from static. This grinding dust is also inside the rivet between the halves of the pliers. Firstly, you want to wipe it all off or blow it with air. Then, get some Break Free CLP and apply a liberal amount (dripping is ok) to the following points: both sides of the rivet head, top hinge below the cutters, bottom hinge opposite of that, and to the left and right sides. When it is thoroughly saturated, work the handles open and closed for a good minute in all angles to let gravity bring the CLP oil into the inner workings of the hinge. Then without wiping it, let it sit for a few hours. When you get back to it, work it a few more times and wipe dry. You should have a fully broken in plier where the handles fall free on its own. As far as the pliers go, it's the best plier I own and I like it even more than my Knipex. It is not too big or heavy and I'm a 5'6" 125 lbs size small gloved stick-nerd. An 8" might be more comfortable but then you lose the leverage and length to use as a hammer. Concerning that, it's pretty much only meant for hammering small nails such as NM/Romex staples which it does beautifully and as well as an actual hammer. It has two milled flats on the plier jaws for this specific purpose. The gap on the head is spaced perfectly with cross-hatched teeth on the jaws for grabbing parallel and perpendicularly. The gap on linemans pliers have several purposes--it is so that the cutters still cut flush as it is worn down and sharpened multiple times. Additionally, it is to allow the ability to twist soft copper wires together without too much damage to the wires. Lastly, many electricians use the linemans to strip wire as well, scoring the insulation with soft pressure on the cutters and then pulling the jacket with the plier head. All in all, Kleins are a must have and it's the essence of high quality at an affordable price. ## Features - High-leverage design.

I do a lot of metal work so I quench in water briefly and I'm sick of pliers seizing on me** A: 3-in-1 oil, wd-40, p-b blaster, liquid wrench, or like penitrants will work to keep them from siezing and rusting if you put it on as soon as you open up the packaging of the pliers. I do this for every single pliers I get or purchase. To prevent this from happening. **Q: Do these cut acsr** A: I have not personally cut acsr with them. Though they are strong, and ive cut through and twisted multiple 12/2 electrical wire at once, i wouldnt recommend them for acsr. If you were to try it, i wouldnt try it anything bigger than 6AL/1St. But it would probably still be a bit tough to do. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best pliers on the market *by M***E on 25 February 2016* Best pliers on the market ,I'm 48 year old spark and been using Klein pliers for the past 25 years this is my third pair .
