Multifunktionszange Graupner 5729 These pliers are great for jobs such as crimping cable tags, stripping cable insulation etc., but their unique feature is the ability to cut off screws neatly. If you use side-cutters to shorten a screw, the cut edge exhibits a burr which must be removed before a nut can be fitted. With these pliers the cut thread is immediately usable - no trimming required. Simply fit the screw in theappropriate threaded hole in the pliers, set it to the desired depth, and close the pliers to cut off the excess. Removing the screw again tidies up the cut end, and the thread is immediately usable; no cleaning up is required at all.
