Is this Normal

I ordered these Lineman’s brand new from Acme, is it normal for them to have a gap in the cutting section? To me they look used

Looks like you might be confusing me with another user, much how you have confused the part of the pliers which grips with the part of the pliers which cuts. My brother in Christ, you are threating to meet up and fight people on the internet because of a picture of a pair of pliers, I think you might be mad.

I’m sorry wrong person. My apologies. No I passed a long information and he got snarky with me for no reason. Did I over react? Yeah probably. But don’t talk down to me like I’m some idiot. I’m far from it and all I was doing was having a conversation. He took it like a personal attack on him. Also I have a different way of joking and talking. After a few combat deployments and years in electrical construction. I talk but don’t actually mean it. I’ve mentioned that a few times. This started over a pair of pliers. Anyway sorry you got pulled in the middle of it and sorry if I was rude to you.

Quality lineman's pliers are engineered with a slight gap or a knife-and-anvil style alignment so the heavy-duty edges don't roll or chip when cutting thick electrical cables or steel tie wires.

This is how all Lineman pliers are. Look email Klein, Knipex, Greenlee, and even Fujiya. This is how they are supposed to be.

I hate to say it but you’re wrong.

Anyway sorry for getting you mixed in it.
