Diagonal pliers Bahco 2101G-140

The Bahco 2101G-140 diagonal pliers are precision cutting tools designed for a range of tasks. At 140 mm overall length with a jaw width of 1.9 cm and jaw length of 1.64 cm, they combine compact size and durability. Constructed from high-performance alloy steel with induction-hardened cutting edges and a phosphate anti-corrosion finish, these pliers handle copper, iron and piano wire while offering reliable alignment and long service life.

Advantages

Two-component ERGO™ handles feature a thermoplastic surface on a tough polypropylene core for superior grip and ergonomic comfort. The screw joint ensures smooth operation and precise alignment of the cutting edges, while the reduced distance from joint to cutting edge increases leverage and cutting capacity. Round-shaped jaws improve access in confined spaces and the cutting radius is designed to cut hard materials close to the joint as well as softer materials. A patented on/off return spring provides self-opening functionality when engaged. The tool’s phosphate finish and anti-corrosion treatment increase durability.

Suitable for

• Cutting copper (Cu) and iron wires

How to use

Place the material to be cut as close to the joint as possible for maximum leverage. Squeeze the handles firmly and evenly until the cutting edges sever the material. Use the on/off switch on the patented return spring to enable or disable the self-opening function according to your working preference. For cutting piano wire or other hard materials, position the wire along the progressive cutting radius to achieve a clean cut near the joint.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment such as safety glasses when cutting wire. Avoid cutting hardened steel beyond the tool’s intended capacity and keep cutting edges clean and lightly oiled after use to maintain performance and corrosion resistance.
