NWS Side Cutters 145 — NWS NW134-69-145 precision diagonal cutting pliers 145 mm

NWS Side Cutters 145 (model NW134-69-145) are 145 mm precision diagonal cutting pliers designed for clean, accurate cutting of wires, leads and small components. Produced by NWS, these compact pliers combine a short head profile for access in confined areas with hardened cutting edges for long-lasting performance and a slip-resistant insulated handle for comfortable grip and control during repetitive tasks. The tool is intended for tasks where precise, burr-free cuts and accessibility are important.

Advantages

These precision diagonal cutting pliers provide a compact working length that improves reach in tight spaces while maintaining cutting force. Hardened cutting edges resist wear and maintain sharpness, reducing the need for frequent resharpening or replacement. The insulated, ergonomic handles enhance user grip and control, and the overall construction ensures dimensional stability and dependable cutting alignment over time.

Suitable for

• Electrical installation and wiring work requiring insulated-handled cutters
• Electronics assembly and circuit board lead trimming
• Precision trimming of component leads and small metal parts
• General maintenance and repair tasks in confined or hard-to-reach areas

Key specifications

• Overall length: 145 mm
• Tool type: diagonal cutting pliers / side cutters
• Cutting edges: hardened steel for durability
• Head profile: compact/short for access in tight spaces
• Handles: insulated, slip-resistant ergonomic grips
• Typical use: precision cutting of wires, leads and small components

How to use

Position the side cutters so the cutting edges fully encompass the wire or component lead near the point to be cut. Apply steady, even pressure to the handles until the material is cleanly severed; avoid twisting motions that could damage the edges. For insulated-handle safety, confirm that the insulation is intact before use and avoid contact with live circuits unless the tool's insulation rating matches the electrical safety requirements of the task. After use, wipe clean and store in a dry place to prevent corrosion.

Usage recommendations

Use these diagonal cutting pliers for soft to medium-hard copper and component leads; avoid cutting hardened steel wire or materials beyond the tool's intended capacity to prevent chipping of the hardened edges. Regularly inspect the cutting edges for nicks and the handle insulation for damage. When working near live electrical systems, follow applicable safety procedures and verify tool insulation ratings as required.
