Cutting pliers högert technik HT1P010 160 mm — side cutters, insulated handles

Side cutting pliers högert technik HT1P010, 160 mm overall length, are designed for cutting wires and small metal parts in electrical and general workshop tasks. The tool features hardened cutting edges for clean, precise cuts and insulated ergonomic handles that provide a secure grip and reduce the risk of accidental contact during work on or near live circuits. Compact size and durable construction make these side cutters suitable for repetitive use and confined spaces.

Advantages

The hardened cutting edges maintain sharpness and resist chipping, enabling accurate cutting of copper, aluminum and small steel wires. Insulated handles are shaped for ergonomic comfort and improved control, reducing hand fatigue during extended tasks. The compact 160 mm length offers easier access to tight areas while preserving leverage for efficient cutting. Robust joint design ensures smooth operation and long service life under normal workshop conditions.

Suitable for

• Cutting electrical wires and cable ends
• Trimming component leads and small metal parts
• Maintenance and repair tasks in workshops and on-site
• Hobbyist and DIY electronics assembly

Key specifications

• Overall length: 160 mm
• Tool type: side cutting pliers (diagonal cutters)
• Cutting edges: hardened steel
• Handle: insulated, ergonomic shape
• Intended materials: soft and medium-hard wires, small metal parts

How to use

Position the wire or component as close to the pivot as possible for the cleanest cut. Hold the insulated handles firmly and apply steady pressure until the cutting edges sever the material. For insulated or live conductors, verify appropriate insulation rating and ensure power is disconnected before cutting; if insulation rating is unknown, use the pliers only on de-energized circuits. Clean cutting edges after use and inspect for wear or chips; replace the tool if cutting performance deteriorates.

Usage recommendations

Use these side cutting pliers for their intended purpose of cutting wires and small metal parts. Avoid cutting hardened steel beyond the tool's capacity or using the pliers as a hammer, pry bar or for twisting large-diameter fasteners. Store in a dry place and periodically lubricate the joint for smooth operation.
