Diagonal cutting pliers Polax 35-004, Cr‑V steel, 160 mm, two-component handle

Diagonal cutting pliers Polax 35-004 are professional hand tools made from chromium‑vanadium (Cr‑V) steel with a total length of 160 mm and a two‑component ergonomic handle. Intended for precision cutting of wires, cables and small metal pins, these pliers combine durable blade geometry with a comfortable grip to support repetitive electrical, maintenance and DIY tasks. The compact size and angled cutting edges provide access in confined spaces while maintaining cutting performance and edge retention.

Advantages

The Cr‑V steel construction delivers strength and resistance to wear, helping the cutting edges stay sharp through prolonged use. The 160 mm overall length balances leverage and control for accurate cuts without excessive hand fatigue. A two‑component handle provides non‑slip contact and improved ergonomics for secure handling and better force transmission. Angled cutting jaws allow close-to-surface cutting, reducing the need for additional finishing. The tool’s straightforward design supports reliable, repeatable results in a variety of small cutting tasks.

Suitable for

• Cutting insulated and bare electrical wires
• Trimming cable ties and small plastic components
• Removing small nails, pins and rivet ends
• General maintenance, repair and DIY projects

Key specifications

• Overall length: 160 mm
• Material: chromium‑vanadium (Cr‑V) steel
• Handle type: two‑component ergonomic grip
• Tool type: diagonal cutting pliers
• Cutting jaw: angled, designed for close cuts

How to use

Place the material to be cut between the cutting edges close to the pivot point for maximum mechanical advantage and a clean cut. Apply steady pressure to the handles until the cutting edges close completely through the material. For insulated electrical wires, ensure the tool’s cutting rating is suitable for the conductor size and follow safe electrical work practices, including de‑energising circuits where required. After use, wipe the pliers clean and store them in a dry place to minimise corrosion and preserve blade sharpness.

Usage recommendations

Use the tool only for cutting tasks it is designed for; avoid cutting hardened steel, nails thicker than the tool’s capacity, or using the pliers as a hammer or pry bar. Regularly inspect the cutting edges and handles for damage, and sharpen or replace the tool when performance degrades. For electrical work, always confirm power is off and use personal protective equipment as needed.
