About Lineman's Pliers, Combination Pliers with Wire Stripper/Crimper/Cutter Function
Overall Feedback:
80% positive
77% liked the adjustable jaw capacity, but 23% found it limited
The pliers are perfect for snipping even the thickest strings without causing any blisters, based on my experience.
The cutter blades are dull and require considerable force to mash through, resulting in a pronounced oval shape of the cable.
I found that the side cutter only cuts at a small section closest to the hinge and is not good enough.
78% praised for its exceptional build quality, while 22% found it lacking in certain areas
I received a tool made of sturdy metal with thick and good quality grips. I cut through 230 piano wires ranging from 0 to 24 gauge and it is still strong and sharp.
The cutter blades are dull and do not cut cleanly. They mash the cable so it gets shaped into a pronounced oval.
When I hold up the side cutter to the light, I can see a gap from 3/4 of the cutting edge, it's not good enough.

I am dissatisfied with the cutting performance of the tool. The cutter blades are dull and do not cut cleanly, resulting in a mashed and oval-shaped cable. It requires considerable force to mash through, which is very frustrating. I could see light coming through the blades, indicating a high spot that worsens the cutting issue.
87% found it comfortable to hold and use, but 13% experienced hand fatigue
The handle material is smooth and can be used with one hand. It is also nice and not cheap, with no wobbling at the joint.
I find the side cutter not good enough.
86% found it lightweight and portable
The side-cutting-pliers are smooth and can be used with one hand without any wobbling at the joint.
