          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.

                by|Oct 8, 2022

                  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.

                      Q:are these insulated to prevent getting shocked?

                      Answer This Question

                      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.

                          Don't waste your money
                          I bought these pliers at 10am and at 4pm it was already worn and had no more non-slip in the jaws, also on the handles the word dewalt is engraved which makes the grip very uncomfortable. As for the multiplication of the catch, its does not change much the force. I have had similar pliers stanley fat max for 2 ½ years and they are much more resistant to wear.

                            The compound action gives extra leverage, but it also causes the jaws to not open as far as usual. The other big problem is that the plastic handles slide off, which is a problem when you are pulling on wire to twist it which is a common procedure, but they are not made properly to prevent this. The metal should have been knurled or roughened to make the plastic adhere, but this was not done. If you look at my picture, you can see that the metal is completely smooth. Then, they relied on glue to keep the handles on. Disappointing when you take into account Dewalt's supposed reputation for making quality tools. If you look at Channellock tools, you can never get the plastic handles off of those

                              Great pliers/cutters! Our black lab was jumping over our 4 foot fence so we had to add more fencing to add height. These pliers worked really well to cut and twist the metal pieces we needed to attach the fence.

                              It cuts really well but the size of the hand span to grip and squeeze is too large. I do not have a small hand.

                                I was hoping that these would help me out with cutting wires but the jaws don’t open wide enough. I liked that they are only 8” but not a true linesman pliers. Pay a little more and get something that works.
