Diagonal pliers Wiha Z 40 1 03

The Wiha Z 40 1 03 diagonal pliers are compact precision cutters made from C 70 special tool steel for long-lasting edge retention. Designed for electronics work, they enable absolutely flush cutting of soft wires in confined or hard-to-reach places. The tool features a narrow, pointed head and an integrated fixture to collect cut wire ends.

Advantages

Made from C 70 special tool steel, these diagonal pliers offer durable cutting edges and reliable performance. The full flush-cutter cutting edge allows cutting directly at the surface, while the opening spring improves handling speed. The narrow, pointed head provides access to tight spaces and the built-in fixture collects removed wire ends for cleaner work.

• Flush cutting soft wires in electronics
• Working in confined or hard-to-reach areas
• Precision electrical and assembly tasks
• Hobbyist and professional electronic repair

How to use

Position the narrow pointed head so the wire to be cut rests on the flush cutting edge near the surface. Squeeze the handles firmly and evenly until the wire is cut. The opening spring returns the pliers to the open position for the next cut, and the integrated fixture helps retain the cut wire end. Use the tool only on soft wires as intended.

Usage recommendations

Use the diagonal pliers for soft wire only; avoid cutting hardened or steel wires to prevent damage to the cutting edge. Keep the cutting edges clean and store the tool dry. Replace the pliers if the cutting edge becomes chipped or dull to maintain flush cutting performance.
