Diagonal cutting pliers STANLEY FATMAX 175 mm, chrome steel, angled, black-yellow handle

Diagonal cutting pliers STANLEY FATMAX 175 mm are angled cutters designed for precise diagonal cuts in wire, small metal components and similar materials. The tool is made from heat-treated forged chrome steel for durability and features a polished head and an angled cutting profile to access confined spaces. The black-yellow FatMax handles combine a soft bimaterial surface with ergonomic guards to improve grip and control during cutting tasks.

Advantages

The angled head allows easier access to tight or awkward positions, reducing the need to reposition the workpiece. Heat-treated chrome steel construction delivers resistance to wear and long service life while the polished head supports smooth cutting action. FatMax soft bimaterial handles increase comfort and control, and are formulated to be resistant to most common workshop chemicals. The design meets relevant DIN, ISO and ANSI standards for performance and reliability.

• Cutting electrical and communication wires
• Trimming cable ties, small pins and metal components
• Electrical, automotive and general maintenance work
• Tasks in tight or confined spaces where an angled head improves access

How to use

Position the angled cutting edges around the wire or component to be severed, close to the joint for a clean cut. Squeeze the handles firmly and evenly until the material is cut through.

After cutting, relieve tension on the tool and inspect the cutting edges for burrs or damage before further use.

Usage recommendations

Use these diagonal cutting pliers for soft and medium-hard wires and metal components within the tool's cutting capacity; avoid cutting hardened steel or wire that exceeds the recommended material hardness to prevent damage. Keep the pliers clean and lightly lubricate pivot points periodically. Store in a dry place to minimize corrosion and inspect handles and jaws regularly for wear.
