Diagonal pliers YATO YT-1967, length 210 mm, max cutting capacity 7 mm, hardness 42–60 HRC

Diagonal pliers YATO YT-1967 are 210 mm cutting pliers designed for precise diagonal cutting of wires and small-diameter rods up to 7 mm. Constructed to work effectively on materials with hardness between 42 and 60 HRC, these pliers combine a compact profile with a cutting geometry that supports access in confined spaces and controlled shearing action suitable for electrical, maintenance and general workshop tasks.

Advantages

The tool provides a clean cutting edge and consistent performance across the specified hardness range. Its 210 mm overall length balances leverage and maneuverability for both heavier cuts and work in tight areas. Hardened cutting edges retain sharpness over extended use while the diagonal jaw design enables flush and angled cuts where straight cutters are less effective.

Suitable for

• Cutting copper, brass and soft steel wires
• Trimming small-diameter electrical cables and conductors
• Removing cable ties, pins and small rivets in maintenance work
• Workshop tasks that require access to restricted spaces

Key specifications

• Overall length: 210 mm
• Maximum cutting capacity: 7 mm
• Material hardness suitability: 42–60 HRC
• Cutting type: diagonal (angled) cutting jaws

How to use

Position the material between the diagonal cutting edges as close to the pivot as practical for maximum leverage. Apply steady pressure to the handles until the material is sheared. For electrical work, ensure cables are de-energized and insulated where required before cutting. Avoid using the pliers on hardened fasteners or materials exceeding the specified hardness range to prevent edge damage.

Usage recommendations

Maintain the cutting edges by keeping them clean and dry; occasional light sharpening by a qualified technician will prolong service life. Store the pliers in a dry tool pouch and inspect before use for nicks or deformation. Use appropriate personal protective equipment when cutting to reduce risk from flying fragments.
