Hello, that's the way to use them pliers, but one may be carful not to overheat them (on a torch for instance) as the metal used is not so good - have nothing to do with the tools we had 20 years ago (Snip) I broke one pair because they have stay too long above the alcohol lamp a few years ago. If I find a little warming electric plate I should consider buying it. For what trade these mat be used ? (less large and less strong than the usual electrric plates) Best regards.
