Key specifications

• Overall length: 180 mm
• Type: diagonal/side cutting pliers
• Head: compact profile for close cutting
• Cutting edges: hardened steel for durability
• Operation: manual hand tool
• Handles: insulated, molded for improved grip

How to use

Position the pliers so the wire or component is placed close to the cutting edge, aligning the compact head for the desired cut. Squeeze the handles evenly with a firm grip until the cutting edges pass through the material. For repeated cuts, ensure the workpiece is supported and avoid twisting motions that could damage the cutting edges. Use appropriate personal protective equipment, such as safety glasses, when cutting springy or sharp materials.

Usage recommendations

Use these pliers for soft and medium-hard wires; avoid cutting hardened steel or nails to prevent premature blunting. Keep cutting edges clean and free of debris, periodically inspect for wear, and store the tool dry to reduce corrosion. If the insulated handles are intended for electrical work, verify their insulation rating before use on live circuits.
