Hand cable cutter Wiha Heavy-duty diagonal cutters Classic with DynamicJoint, 160 mm, red handles

Hand cable cutter Wiha Heavy-duty diagonal cutters Classic with DynamicJoint, 160 mm, red handles is a compact diagonal cutter designed for cutting cables and wires with reduced manual effort. At 160 mm length and weighing 170 g, this tool combines a semi-circular head geometry for clean cuts with Wiha's DynamicJoint mechanism that optimizes leverage to deliver up to 40% more cutting force compared with conventional pliers. The Classic red handles provide grip and control for electrical, maintenance and general workshop tasks requiring precise diagonal cutting.

Advantages

The DynamicJoint design shifts the plier joint to improve mechanical advantage, reducing the hand force required and limiting wrist strain during repetitive cutting. The semi-circular cutting head ensures a neat, burr-free cut edge on cables and wires. At 160 mm overall length and a weight of 170 g, the cutter is compact and easy to handle for close-quarters and portable work. The Classic insulated-style handles offer reliable grip and control for accurate cuts.

Suitable for

• Cutting soft and hard electrical wires and small cables
• Electrical installation and maintenance work
• General workshop and mechanical tasks requiring diagonal cutting
• Portable tool kit for technicians and field service

Key specifications

• Total length: 160 mm
• Weight: 170 g
• Head shape: semi-circular diagonal cutting head for clean cuts
• Joint type: DynamicJoint mechanism for optimized leverage
• Handle: Classic red handles for grip and control
• Function: diagonal cutting of cables and wires

How to use

Position the cable or wire between the cutting edges near the head for best leverage and a clean cut. Squeeze the handles evenly until the cutter severs the material; the DynamicJoint reduces the force required, but steady, controlled pressure ensures precise results. For insulated wires, ensure appropriate stripping and follow safety procedures for live circuits: verify power is isolated before cutting. After use, wipe the cutting edges clean and store the tool in a dry place to maintain cutting performance.

Usage recommendations

Use this diagonal cutter for intended cutting tasks only; do not use it to cut hardened steel, nails, or materials beyond its design limits. Regularly inspect the cutting edges for wear and keep the joint free of debris. For electrical work, always follow applicable safety regulations and verify circuits are de-energized before cutting.
