Side Cutters Topex 5902062321060 — 160 mm cutting pliers, hardened cutting edges

Topex side cutters 160 mm are compact diagonal cutting pliers designed for precise trimming of wires, cable ties and small metal parts. The tool features hardened cutting edges that maintain sharpness under repeated use, and ergonomically shaped handles that provide secure grip and better control during cutting tasks. Intended for electrical work, workshop repairs and general maintenance, these cutting pliers combine durability and maneuverability in a lightweight format.

Advantages

Hardened cutting edges ensure consistent, clean cuts and resist wear from frequent use. The 160 mm length offers accessibility in confined spaces while delivering sufficient leverage for cutting through common soft and medium-hard materials. Ergonomic handles reduce hand fatigue and improve handling accuracy. The compact diagonal design allows close-to-surface cutting and neat trimming near connectors or components.

Key specifications

• Overall length: 160 mm
• Tool type: diagonal/side cutting pliers
• Cutting edges: hardened steel
• Handle: ergonomically shaped for improved grip
• Primary use: cutting wires, cable ties and small metal parts

How to use

Position the cutting edges around the material to be cut as close to the desired cut point as possible, then squeeze the handles firmly and evenly to make a clean cut. For thicker conductors or harder materials, use the pliers at the strongest part of the jaws and avoid twisting motions that can damage the cutting edge. Keep fingers away from the blade area during operation and store the tool with the jaws closed when not in use.

Usage recommendations

Use the pliers for their intended purpose: cutting soft to medium-hard wires, cable ties and small metal parts. Do not use them as a substitute for heavy-duty bolt cutters, prying tools or hammering. Regularly clean and dry the tool after use and apply a light oil coating to the joint to maintain smooth operation and prolong cutting edge life.
