Pliers Irwin 10505517, metal and rubber handle, 200 mm length, 381 g

Irwin VISE-GRIP front cutter 200 mm model 10505517 is a precision diagonal/front cutting tool designed for cleanly cutting wires, pins and small metal components. With a 200 mm overall length and hardened cutting edges, this cutter provides increased leverage for controlled cuts and enhanced edge life for repetitive use. The tool is intended for use in electrical work, general maintenance and workshop environments where reliable and accurate cutting is required.

Advantages

The hardened cutting edges deliver sustained sharpness and resistance to wear, reducing the need for frequent sharpening or replacement. The 200 mm length balances reach and control, offering improved leverage for cutting thicker wires while still allowing precise tip alignment. The plier-style handle and jaw geometry are designed to provide secure bite and consistent cutting performance on a variety of small metal materials.

Suitable for

• Cutting insulated and non-insulated electrical wires
• Trimming small metal pins and rivets
• General maintenance and repair tasks in workshops
• Precision cutting in HVAC, automotive and electrical installations

Key specifications

• Overall length: 200 mm for increased leverage and control
• Cutting type: front/diagonal cutter suitable for flush and precision cuts
• Cutting edges: hardened for improved wear resistance and edge retention
• Materials handled: copper, aluminum, soft steel wires and small metal components
• Handle style: plier-style grips for controlled operation

How to use

Position the material to be cut as close as possible to the cutting edges for a clean, precise cut. Hold the handles with a firm, controlled grip and apply steady pressure until the cutting edges have fully closed. For insulated electrical wires, ensure the correct position to avoid damaging insulation beyond the desired cut point. Use the tool only within its intended capacity; avoid cutting hardened steel or materials beyond the recommended thickness to prevent premature edge damage.

Usage recommendations

Regularly inspect the cutting edges for wear and keep them clean from debris and corrosion. Store the cutter in a dry environment and apply light lubricant to the pivot joint if movement becomes stiff. Use appropriate personal protective equipment when cutting conductive or sharp materials.
