The compact 165 mm profile improves reach in tight areas while offering good mechanical leverage for clean cuts. Ergonomic handles support secure handling and controlled operation during repetitive work. The solid construction and quality materials contribute to long service life under typical workshop and jobsite conditions.

Suitable for

• Cutting electrical wires and small cables
• Trimming component leads in electronics
• General workshop cutting tasks in confined spaces
• Maintenance and repair work requiring compact cutting tools

Key specifications

• Total length: 165 mm
• Type: side-cutting pliers (diagonal cutters)
• Cutting edge: hardened steel for durability
• Handles: ergonomically shaped for grip and control
• Intended materials: soft to medium-hard wires and small metal components

How to use

Position the cutting jaws around the wire or component to be cut, close to the support point if a flush cut is required. Apply steady pressure on the handles until the material is severed, keeping fingers clear of the cutting edge. For repetitive cuts, maintain a consistent hand position to reduce fatigue and ensure accurate results. Inspect the cutting edges periodically and avoid cutting hardened steel beyond the tool’s intended range to prevent damage.

Usage recommendations

Use eye protection when cutting to guard against flying debris. Clean and lightly lubricate the pivot joint occasionally to maintain smooth operation. Store the pliers in a dry place and avoid exposure to corrosive substances to prolong service life.
