8 in. Compound Action Linesman Pliers

A:  The DWHT70276 is made in Vietnam.

A:  Yes, they are spring-loaded.

A:  no

A:  No

A:  Yes

A:  Yes! We used them to cut fencing and wire to attach to our existing fence that our black lap kept jumping over. They cut very smooth and left smooth edges!

A:  Don't go by the other answers, they don't seem to know what music wire is (piano wire not speaker wire) it is hardened steel similar in hardness to tool steel, and will easily wreck ordinary or high quality wire cutters or pliers. You need a music wire cutter or a grit type hacksaw or as a messy last resort a rotary tool with mini diamond cutoff wheel (regular cutoff wheels will work too but the steel/diamond type won't shatter every time you look at em wrong

A:  My cutting edge was damaged badly cutting copper and non-hardened steel wire. Based on my experience, I suspect the music wire will damage them.

A:  I didn't use it for this purpose but it apeas capable to accomplish .

A:  Yes good cutting power and edge. Not damaged. Cost reasonable.

A:  I used these for cutting Cat5e and Cat6e network cable and preparing the ends for RJ45 network connectors. These are eight 24ga & 26 ga solid conductors. Not perfectly sharp cuts, but they did the job. These are best suited for larger electrical wiring.

A:  I'm sure that depends on the thickness of the wire. Don't expect them to cut through piano strings but I'm sure you will be fine with guitar or other computable stringed instruments.

A:  Yes

A:  Yes

A:  Yes.

A:  No, these pliers are not insulated.
