Frequently Asked Questions

What gauge wire can Vise-Grip cutters handle?

This varies by model, but most Vise-Grip wire cutters can handle wire from fine gauge up to approximately 4mm diameter. Heavy-duty models with compound leverage can cut even thicker cables. Always check the specific cutting capacity marked on your chosen model.

Are Vise-Grip wire cutters suitable for cutting hardened wire?

Vise-Grip cutters are designed for standard copper, aluminium, and soft steel wire. Whilst the induction-hardened edges are extremely durable, cutting hardened steel wire or piano wire may damage the cutting edges. Use dedicated bolt cutters for very hard materials.

How do I maintain my Vise-Grip wire cutters?

Keep cutting edges clean and lightly oiled to prevent rust. Wipe away debris after use and store in a dry location. Avoid using wire cutters as pry bars or on materials harder than their rating, as this can misalign or damage the cutting edges.
