Tips

To maximize the lifespan of your Bahco 158-N pliers, keep the jaws clean and lightly oiled to prevent corrosion. When working with delicate materials, adjust your grip pressure to avoid marring the surface. Always wear safety glasses when cutting or bending wire, as small fragments may fly. Store the pliers in a dry place, and periodically check the joint for smooth operation; a drop of light machine oil will keep it moving freely.
