Wire Cutting Shears Tvardy Cr-Mo 14" (350 mm)

Tvardy Wire Cutting Shears Cr-Mo 14" (350 mm) are manual cutting pliers engineered for cleanly severing wires and small metal rods. Constructed with chromium-molybdenum (Cr-Mo) steel blades and a long 350 mm handle length, the tool delivers increased leverage and hardened cutting edges for repeated use in electrical, construction and workshop environments. The design focuses on controlled cutting performance for steel wire, cable strands and similar metal materials where a robust hand tool is required.

Advantages

The Cr-Mo steel blades provide improved hardness and wear resistance compared with ordinary carbon steel, helping the cutting edges retain sharpness through frequent use. The 14" (350 mm) length increases mechanical leverage, reducing user effort when cutting thicker wires or small rods. Heat-treated cutting edges and a solid joint construction enhance durability and consistent performance under load. The tool’s shape and balance support stable handling for precise cuts without excessive hand strain.

Suitable for

• Cutting steel wire and wire rope strands
• Trimming electrical cable conductors and small cables
• Workshop tasks involving light metal rods and pins
• Construction site manual cutting of fastening wire and ties

Key specifications

• Blade material: chromium-molybdenum (Cr-Mo) steel
• Total length: 350 mm (14 inches)
• Cutting edge: hardened, heat-treated
• Handle type: long leverage handles for reduced cutting force
• Intended use: manual cutting of wires and small metal rods

How to use

Position the cutting edges around the wire or small rod so the material sits close to the pivot for maximum cutting force. Squeeze the handles evenly and steadily until the material is severed. For multi-stranded or thicker wires, make sure the blades fully close and avoid twisting the tool while cutting. Inspect the blades before and after use and remove any debris from the cutting area to maintain clean, effective operation.

Usage recommendations

Use eye protection and gloves when cutting metal to protect from sharp wire ends and flying debris. Do not use the shears on hardened bolts, nails or materials beyond the tool’s intended wire-cutting purpose to avoid damaging the cutting edges. Periodically clean and lightly lubricate the pivot joint and store the shears in a dry place to prevent corrosion and maintain cutting performance.
