Cutting side cutters EPM E-400-0011 — 180 mm

EPM E-400-0011 side cutting pliers, 180 mm, are designed for precise lateral cutting of wires, small cables and thin metal components. The compact profile and 180 mm length allow access in confined spaces, while hardened cutting edges provide clean cuts with reduced deformation. These side cutters are intended for use in electrical work, household repairs and general maintenance tasks that require accurate trimming and cutting.

Advantages

Hardened cutting edges increase durability and maintain sharpness during repetitive cutting operations. The compact 180 mm design improves accessibility in tight areas and reduces operator fatigue compared with larger tools. A balanced handle and optimized jaw geometry enable accurate lateral cuts with minimal crushing of the material, ensuring a reliable finish on wires and small components.

Suitable for

• Cutting insulated and bare electrical wires
• Trimming small cables and zip ties
• Removing small metal pins, leads and components in electronics
• General DIY repairs and maintenance tasks

Key specifications

• Overall length: 180 mm
• Tool type: Side cutting pliers (diagonal cutters)
• Cutting edge: Hardened steel cutting edges for extended wear resistance
• Design: Compact profile for access in confined spaces
• Typical applications: Electrical, electronics, maintenance and DIY

How to use

Position the material to be cut between the cutting edges close to the pivot point for the cleanest cut. Apply steady pressure on the handles until the material is severed; avoid twisting motions. For insulated electrical conductors, ensure power is disconnected before cutting. After use, wipe off debris and store the pliers in a dry place to prevent corrosion and preserve cutting performance.

Usage recommendations

Use the pliers only within their intended capacity: avoid cutting hardened steel bolts or materials beyond the tool's designed thickness. Regularly inspect the cutting edges and pivot for wear; sharpening or professional replacement may be required if cuts become ragged. For electrical work, always follow safety procedures and verify circuits are de-energized prior to cutting.
