Pliers Cutters Forsage F-612B175 175 mm — Long Side Cutting Pliers

Forsage F-612B175 long side cutting pliers are 175 mm compact cutting tools designed for precise transverse cuts in wires and small cables in confined or hard-to-reach areas. The elongated profile of the side-cutting jaws improves reach and visibility while maintaining a comfortable working length. Built for repeated use in workshop and field conditions, these pliers combine targeted cutting performance with a simple, robust design suitable for electrical, repair and maintenance tasks.

Advantages

These long side cutting pliers offer a narrow jaw profile for access into tight spots and precise diagonal cuts without crushing the conductor. Their 175 mm overall length balances reach and control, allowing work in confined spaces while preserving hand ergonomics. Hardened cutting edges ensure consistent shearing performance across soft and medium-hard wires, and the solid single-piece construction delivers reliable durability under frequent use.

Suitable for

• Cutting insulated and uninsulated copper and aluminum wires
• Electrical installation and maintenance in junction boxes and panels
• Automotive and appliance repair where access is restricted
• Hobby electronics and light workshop tasks requiring precise cuts

Key specifications

• Tool type: long side cutting pliers with diagonal cutting jaws
• Overall length: 175 mm for improved reach in narrow spaces
• Cutting edge: hardened shear-cutting edges for clean transverse cuts
• Jaw profile: slim, elongated side-cutting jaws for access and visibility
• Handle: non-insulated ergonomic handles for manual comfort and grip
• Construction: durable forged steel design suitable for workshop and field use

How to use

Place the wire close to the cutting edge between the side-cutting jaws and apply steady pressure on the handles until the conductor is sheared. For best results, position the workpiece as close as possible to the pivot point to use maximum leverage and reduce required force. Avoid cutting hardened steel or materials beyond the tool's design limits to prevent premature edge damage. Maintain a firm, controlled grip and ensure fingers are clear of the jaw area during operation.

Usage recommendations

For consistent performance, keep the cutting edges clean and occasionally apply a light lubricant to the pivot joint. Inspect the tool for nicks or deformation before use; replace if the cutting edge is damaged. Because the handles are non-insulated, do not use this tool on live electrical circuits—always de-energize circuits or use appropriately rated insulated tools when working near live conductors.
