Combination pliers are incredibly versatile tools, but they are very simple to operate.

Step 1-Open the jaw

Hold the handles of the pliers and open them (some pliers are spring-loaded and will open automatically). Keep them in a comfortable position-if they have thumb stops, they should keep your fingers away from your chin.

Step 2-Position the pliers

When grabbing, place the flat part of the jaws in the best position on both sides of the item to be grabbed.

When cutting, make sure that the wire or anything you want to cut is between the blades, as close as possible to the pivot point, because this is where the most force is obtained.

Step 3-Close the upper jaw

Close the handle by hand. The jaws will come together. The material will be cut or clamped, depending on its position in the jaws.

If you want to grasp, hold the handles together and manipulate the material in any way you want.
