Since the pliers are spring-action, ensure you keep the pivot point clean from sawdust or metallic filings by occasionally blowing it out with compressed air. A tiny drop of light oil on the pivot points once or twice a year will ensure the one-handed blade deployment remains buttery smooth. If you are using the wire cutters frequently, avoid twisting the wire while cutting, as this keeps the blades perfectly aligned and sharp for years of reliable household performance!\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Zen","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48563448250468,"sku":"YL831439","price":186.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0713\/6487\/0244\/files\/Sidekick.png?v=1781290473","url":"https:\/\/www.greenhousepolytunnels.com.au\/products\/leatherman-sidekick%c2%ae-multi-tool-the-ultimate-entry-level-edc-with-spring-action-jaws","provider":"Greenhouse \u0026 Polytunnels","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
