Diagonal Cutting Pliers STANLEY FATMAX 180 mm angled, black/yellow handles, 200 mm jaw width

STANLEY FATMAX diagonal cutting pliers, 180 mm length with a 200 mm jaw width and ergonomically shaped black/yellow bi-material handles, are designed for precise diagonal cutting of wires and small metal parts. The pliers feature an angled head that improves access in confined spaces and enables flush cuts close to surfaces. Constructed from forged high-quality carbon steel with induction-hardened cutting edges, they are intended for repeated use in electrical, mechanical and general DIY tasks where reliable, accurate cutting is required.

Advantages

The high-leverage pivot design reduces the force required to cut, making the tool more efficient for repetitive work. Induction-hardened cutting jaws extend the life of the cutting edge compared with non-hardened alternatives, while the forged carbon steel construction ensures durability. The angled head design allows cutting flush against surfaces and in tight spots. Slip-resistant bi-material handles provide a secure, comfortable grip and meet industry safety and usability expectations.

Suitable for

• Cutting copper, aluminum and soft metal wires in electrical installations
• Trimming cable ties and small fasteners during mechanical assembly
• Precision cutting in confined or hard-to-reach areas
• General DIY tasks requiring accurate diagonal cuts

Key specifications

• Total tool length: 180 mm
• Jaw width: 200 mm
• Head type: angled for flush cutting
• Material: forged high-quality carbon steel
• Cutting edge treatment: induction hardened
• Handle: slip-resistant bi-material, black/yellow
• Design feature: high-leverage pivot

How to use

Hold the pliers by the bi-material handles and position the angled cutting edges around the wire or small metal part to be cut. Squeeze the handles firmly and steadily until the cutting edges close through the material. For flush cuts, position the angled head as close to the surface as possible before cutting. Use the high-leverage pivot to reduce the effort required; avoid twisting the tool while cutting to preserve the cutting edge.

Usage recommendations

Use these diagonal cutting pliers for copper, aluminum and other soft metals; do not use them to cut hardened steel, piano wire, or materials that exceed the tool’s intended capacity. Keep blades clean and inspect regularly for wear; replace the tool if cutting performance degrades. Store in a dry place and avoid exposure to corrosive substances.
