Cutting Pliers MODECO MN-20-105 115 mm electronic side cutters

MODECO MN-20-105 cutting pliers are 115 mm electronic side cutters designed for precise cutting of wires and small components. The compact length and side-cutting geometry provide improved access in tight spaces and better control for delicate tasks in electronics, electrical work and hobby applications. The pliers combine a short, rigid jaw with cutting edges suitable for soft and medium-hard conductors and component leads.

Advantages

These electronic side cutters offer a compact design that enhances maneuverability in confined areas and near circuit boards. Hardened cutting edges retain sharpness for repeated use, while the ergonomic handles reduce hand fatigue during repetitive cutting operations. The 115 mm overall length balances accessibility and leverage, making it easier to perform precise trimming without excessive force.

Suitable for

• Cutting and trimming insulated and bare wires in electronics and electrical assemblies
• Removing component leads and trimming small soldered parts on PCBs
• Hobby and model-making tasks requiring precise, short cuts
• General small-scale cutting where access is limited

Key specifications

• Tool type: side-cutting pliers for electronics
• Overall length: 115 mm
• Cutting edge: hardened steel suitable for soft and medium-hard wires and component leads
• Jaw style: flush/side cut for close-to-surface trimming
• Handle: ergonomic grip for improved control and comfort

How to use

Position the wire or component lead between the cutting edges as close as possible to the insulated area or board surface for a flush cut. Squeeze the handles with steady pressure until the cut is complete, then release. For repetitive work, work in short, controlled strokes to maintain accuracy and avoid damage to adjacent parts. Use the tool only on materials within its intended hardness range and avoid cutting hardened steel, piano wire, or other materials that could damage the cutting edges.

Usage recommendations

Maintain the cutting edges by keeping them clean and free of solder or adhesive residues; occasional light sharpening by a qualified technician can extend tool life. Store the pliers in a dry place and avoid exposure to corrosive substances. Use appropriate eye protection when cutting wires or component leads to prevent injury from flying pieces.
