Q: What types of wire can the side cutter handle?
A: The 317 side cutter is capable of cutting soft wire and medium wire within its specified capacity, thanks to the precision knife-and-anvil design and laser-treated cutting surfaces.

A: Yes. Channellock’s pliers—including the 317—are forged in the United States from high-carbon steel and finished with rust-resistant coating.
Q: How should I maintain the 317 plier to ensure long life?
A: After use, wipe clean of debris and moisture, lightly oil the pivot, and store in a dry place. Avoid cutting hardened wire beyond its capacity to preserve the cutting edges.
