Pliers AWTools AWTOOLS SZCZYPCE BOCZNE UTWARDZANE 175 mm — side cutters, hardened jaws

Side cutters AWTools AWTOOLS SZCZYPCE BOCZNE UTWARDZANE 175 mm are compact cutting pliers with hardened cutting edges designed for cutting wire, cables and small metal parts. With a 175 mm overall length and hardened jaws, these side cutters offer a balance of reach, control and edge durability for workshop, electrical and general maintenance tasks. The narrow head and compact handles make them suitable for precise cutting in tight spaces while the hardened cutting surfaces increase service life when used on soft and medium-hard materials.

Advantages

These side cutters feature heat-treated, hardened cutting edges that resist wear and maintain sharpness over repeated cuts. The compact 175 mm design delivers good leverage without sacrificing maneuverability, allowing users to work in confined areas. The pliers are built for routine electrical and mechanical tasks and provide predictable cutting performance on wires, small nails, pins and similar components.

Suitable for

• Cutting insulated and bare electrical wires
• Trimming cable ties and small plastic parts
• Removing pins, nails and small metal fasteners
• Precise cuts in tight or confined workspaces

Key specifications

• Overall length: 175 mm
• Tool type: side cutting pliers (diagonal cutters)
• Cutting edges: hardened/heat-treated jaws for improved wear resistance
• Head profile: narrow head for access to tight spaces
• Typical materials for use: copper, soft and medium-hard wires, small metal parts and plastics

How to use

Hold the pliers by the handles with a firm but controlled grip and position the workpiece between the cutting edges near the pivot point for maximum mechanical advantage. Close the handles smoothly to cut through the wire or part; avoid twisting motions during cutting. For insulated electrical conductors, ensure power is disconnected and that the cutter's capacity matches the conductor size. After use, wipe the cutting edges clean and store the pliers in a dry place to limit corrosion and preserve edge life.

Usage recommendations

Use these hardened-jaw side cutters for routine cutting of soft to medium-hard wires and small components. Do not use them as a substitute for dedicated bolt cutters or tools designed for very hard materials. Inspect cutting edges regularly and replace the tool if chips or significant dulling reduce cutting performance.
