Diagonal pliers wiha 43463 — 18 cm, cutting length 1.7 cm, max wire Ø 2.3 mm

Diagonal pliers Wiha 43463 — 18 cm overall length with a cutting length of 1.7 cm and capability to cut wires or small tubes up to 2.3 mm diameter. Designed for precise cutting tasks in electronics, electrical work and general maintenance, these precision diagonal cutters combine a semi-circular head for clean cut edges with a compact 305 g construction for comfortable handling in tight spaces. The tool meets IEC 60900 and is individually tested at 10,000 V AC and approved for safe use on live parts up to 1,000 V AC.

Advantages

The DynamicJoint® design reduces the effort required for cutting and increases applied cutting force by up to 40%, enabling easier cuts of hard and soft wires. Chrome-plated plier surfaces provide corrosion resistance for a longer service life. Each tool is individually tested at 10,000 V AC and certified for use on live parts up to 1,000 V AC, offering electrical protection for professional applications.

Suitable for

• Cutting hard and soft wires in electrical installation and maintenance
• Precision cuts in electronics and telecommunications work
• General workshop and tradesman use for small tubes and wire harnesses

How to use

Position the wire or small tube between the cutting edges near the jaw tip, apply steady hand pressure on the ergonomically shaped handles and close the pliers until the material is severed. For thicker or harder materials, ensure the cutting edge is centered on the wire and use controlled, even force. Do not use the pliers for cutting hardened wire types or materials beyond the stated maximum diameter.

Usage recommendations

Use the diagonal pliers for insulated and non-insulated conductors within the specified diameter. Regularly check the cutting edges for wear, keep the chrome-plated surface clean and dry to avoid corrosion, and store the tool safely when not in use. For live electrical work, confirm the tool’s IEC 60900 marking and testing status before use and follow applicable safety procedures for working on live parts.
