If your wire is getting difficult to bend by hand, or you need to make a tight turn, running pliers are the next best thing. Although they look a bit like regular pliers, they have a serrated surface that will grip the wire as you squeeze. This serrated surface also leaves a little bit of a pattern on the wire, so if you’re working on something that needs to be smooth, you might want to use a different type of plier.<\/p>\n

To use running pliers, start by holding the pliers in your dominant hand with the tips of the jaws touching the wire you want to cut. Wrap your other hand around the body of the pliers for stability, then squeeze the handles together to cut through the wire.<\/p>\n

How do you use running pliers? <\/h2>\n

Running pliers are a type of cutting tool that can be used for straight or slightly curved cuts. They are made up of two handles that are connected at the jaws. The jaws of the running pliers are lined up with the score (the line that you want to cut) and the handles are squeezed together gently to make the cut. <\/p>\n

There are two types of running pliers – metal and plastic. The metal ones are far more robust and have a plastic coated jaws to prevent chipping.<\/p>\n
