Diagonal pliers Cimco 101730

Diagonal pliers Cimco 101730 are hand cutting pliers with insulated PVC handles in black and red designed for comfortable grip and controlled cutting. The tool is intended for precision cutting of wires, small pins, and component leads in electrical and electronics work. The pliers combine a compact head profile for access in tight spaces with a robust construction that supports repeated use in workshop and field conditions.

Advantages

The ergonomically shaped PVC handles reduce hand fatigue and provide slip resistance during use. Hardened cutting edges maintain sharpness for clean cuts through copper, soft steel wire and component leads. The compact jaw geometry enables accurate, close-to-board cuts and easy access in confined areas. The overall construction is corrosion-resistant and built to withstand routine mechanical stress.

Suitable for

• Cutting insulated and uninsulated electric wires
• Trimming electronic component leads on printed circuit boards
• General workshop and maintenance cutting tasks
• Hobby and DIY electronics projects

Key specifications

• Handle material: PVC with ergonomic shape in black and red
• Tool type: diagonal cutting pliers (side cutters)
• Cutting edge: hardened steel for durable sharpness
• Jaw style: compact head for access in tight spaces
• Finish: corrosion-resistant surface treatment

How to use

Hold the pliers by the PVC handles with the cutting edges aligned around the conductor or component lead to be cut. Position the item as close as possible to the joint or board where a flush cut is required, then apply steady pressure to the handles to close the cutting edges. For repeated cuts on thicker material, inspect the cutting edges regularly and avoid twisting the tool while cutting to preserve edge integrity.

Usage recommendations

Use these diagonal pliers for electrical and electronic cutting tasks within their intended capacity. Do not use them as a hammer, prying tool, or for cutting hardened steel bolts beyond the pliers’ rated capability. Clean and store the pliers dry after use; apply light oil to the pivot if movement becomes stiff. For work on live circuits, follow electrical safety practices and use tools with appropriate insulation rating when required.
