Diagonal pliers Wiha Z 46 0 03

Diagonal pliers Wiha Z 46 0 03 are precision flush cutters made from C 70 special tool steel. Designed for absolutely flush cutting of soft wires in hard-to-reach places typical for the electronics industry, these pliers combine a narrow pointed head with a cutting edge optimized for oblique approach.

Advantages

The cutting edge has a full flush cutter function and is hardened to maintain sharpness. A 48° angled cutting edge allows cutting obliquely from above or from the side, enabling access in confined spaces. The wide, pointed head improves visibility and control near the workpiece. At 130 mm length and about 64 g weight, the tool offers fine handling and precision for delicate tasks.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

• Flush cutting soft wires in electronic assemblies
• Trimming component leads on printed circuit boards
• Working in confined or hard-to-reach areas where an angled cut is required

How to use

Position the wide, pointed head close to the workpiece so the cutting edge can reach the wire at the desired angle. For flush cuts, align the blades against the surface to be flush with and apply steady pressure until the wire is severed. Use the 48° angled edge when access from above or the side is required. Maintain a firm but controlled grip to ensure precision and avoid slipping.

Usage recommendations

Keep the cutting edges clean and free of debris; sharpen or replace if the flush function degrades. Use the pliers only on soft wires as intended, and avoid cutting hardened steel or materials beyond the specified capacity to prevent damage to the cutting edge.
