Cutting pliers Rockforce RF-612B200 8" (200 mm) side-cutting

Rockforce RF-612B200 8" (200 mm) side-cutting pliers are hand tools designed for precise cutting of wire and small metal parts. With a compact 200 mm length and a side-cutting profile, these pliers provide controlled leverage and a firm grip for trimming, stripping and cutting tasks. They are suitable for use in electrical work, automotive repairs and general maintenance where access or precision are important.

Advantages

The side-cutting design concentrates cutting force near the joint for clean, efficient cuts on copper, aluminum and soft steel wire. The compact 200 mm length improves accessibility in confined spaces while maintaining sufficient leverage for repeated use. Ergonomic handles offer a secure hold to reduce slippage during cutting operations. The hardened cutting edges are intended to retain sharpness for consistent performance during routine workshop tasks.

Suitable for

• Cutting electrical wires and cable ties
• Trimming small metal components and pins
• Automotive repair tasks requiring precision cutting
• General household and workshop maintenance

Key specifications

• Type: side-cutting pliers
• Overall length: 200 mm (8 inches)
• Intended use: cutting wire and small metal parts
• Handle: ergonomic design for firm grip
• Cutting edge: hardened for durability

How to use

Hold the pliers by the handles with the cutting edges aligned around the material to be cut. Position the wire or part as close to the joint as possible for the most effective cutting action, then squeeze the handles evenly until the material is severed. For insulated electrical wire, ensure power is disconnected before cutting. Use controlled pressure to avoid deforming small parts and inspect the cutting edges regularly for wear.

Usage recommendations

Maintain the pliers by keeping the cutting edges clean and lightly lubricating the pivot occasionally. Avoid cutting hardened steel or materials beyond the tool's intended capacity to prevent premature edge damage. Store in a dry place and replace the tool if the cutting performance declines significantly.
