The plier is made from treated steel alloys that are zinc and phosphate finished. The treated steel ensures that the cutting and gripping features are durable and can continue to perform reliably for a lifetime. The zinc and phosphate finishes add a level of protection to the metal surfaces to help prevent corrosion.
The cutting edge follows a variant of a diagonal cutting plier profile with hardened edges. This means that the plier is capable of cutting hard material, specified to 2.5mm piano wire whilst being able to cut very close to a surface.
The Fencing plier has a number of advantages over a regular linesman or combination plier.
The specification of High tensile fence wire generally sits within the wire specification of medium hard wire. The Fencing plier has 62-65 HRc hardened cutting edges to ensure that the edges are durable and capable of cutting a wide range of fencing wires and other materials associated with wire fencing.
These pliers are specifically designed for fencing installation and repair, and their features compliment this in the following ways:
The finishes help to prevent corrosion and rusting. Over the lifetime of a product depending upon the level of use, the environment that the plier is used, and how the pliers are maintained and stored when not in use, in it is reasonable to expect that the finishes may eventually become worn and damaged.
We expect that the fencing pliers durability is capable of cutting the majority of fencing wire variants. For some larger diameter, very high-performance fence wires, the user may be unable to cut one action and may have to apply the cut once or twice, repositioning the wire to the back of the cutting jaws on each occasion.
The standard Fencing Pliers weigh 510g, and the comfort grips version weighs 560g.
These pliers are appropriate for the following types of fencing:
They're versatile hand tools essential for any fencing project, with a sturdy design that helps with the removal of old nails and staples, as well as ensuring new wire is tight and secure. The parallel jaws allow you to twist wire effectively, a staple task in the installation and maintenance of livestock fencing.
The edges of diagonal cutting forms are not “sharp”; therefore, it is not a case of keeping the tool sharp. Where possible the cut should always be as close to the back of the jaw as it can be.
The best way to maintain the Fencing Pliers is to ensure that the tool is stored in a cool, dry place, that the product is thoroughly dried if it becomes wet during use and cleaned with a wet cloth, and then thoroughly dried if it becomes dirty during use.
