### How to Use

For optimal performance when working with electronic components, use alongside an [Adafruit Anti-Static ESD Rework Mat](https://core-electronics.com.au/anti-static-esd-rework-mat-with-grounding-clip-a4-size-20cm-x-30cm.html) and an [iFixit Anti-Static Wrist Strap](https://core-electronics.com.au/ifixit-anti-static-wrist-strap.html) to maintain an ESD-safe workspace. The adjustable jaw opening can be set to your preferred width for repetitive cutting tasks, reducing hand fatigue during extended use.

### Recommended Cutting Technique

- Position the cutters perpendicular to the wire or component lead
- Use the full-flush cutting edge for the cleanest cut
- Adjust the jaw opening restrictor for consistent cutting depth
- Maintain clean cuts by regularly wiping the cutting edges
