Cutting pliers Facom 192A.16CPE — side cutters, compact design

Facom side cutters model 192A.16CPE feature a redesigned head to increase durability and cutting capacity. The cutting edges are engineered to cleanly cut a wide range of wires and modern materials, with a maximum piano wire capability of 2.0 mm at 210 kg/mm². The tool has a compact design suited for precision cutting in confined spaces and includes a chrome finish for corrosion resistance.

Advantages

The off-set rivet and optimized cutting edge geometry provide high mechanical advantage, reducing user effort during cuts. Cutting edges are induction hardened for improved wear resistance, and the body is made from high-durability carbon alloy steel. Bi-material ergonomic grips resist chemical agents and incorporate a return spring and a tether-ready point (note: using a tether adds 10 mm to the nominal length).

Suitable for

• Cutting soft wires and general-purpose wires
• Cutting small pins and metal parts in tight spaces
• Electrical and electronics work requiring precise side cuts
• Workshop maintenance and technician tasks

Key specifications

• Maximum piano wire capacity: 2.0 mm at 210 kg/mm²
• Material: carbon alloy steel with induction hardened cutting edges
• Finish: chrome for corrosion resistance
• Grip: bi-material ergonomic handles resistant to chemical agents
• Features: off-set rivet, return spring, tether-ready point (adds 10 mm when used)

How to use

Position the cutting edges around the wire or small part near the head and squeeze the handles evenly until the material is severed. For safe and precise cuts, align the material perpendicular to the blades and avoid twisting the tool during cutting. Use the return spring to open the pliers between cuts and attach a tether only when required, taking into account the additional length.

Usage recommendations

Use the tool within its specified piano wire capacity to avoid damage. Keep cutting edges clean and periodically inspect for wear. Store in a dry place to preserve the chrome finish and avoid exposure to corrosive chemicals despite the chemical-resistant grips.
