Diagonal Cutters

Diagonal cutters are widely used by electricians to trim wires to the necessary length and clean them from insulation. Besides, they are successfully utilized by various artisans and technicians to work with copper filament. Also known as side-cutting pliers, these tools are called so because of their jaws’ cutting edges which intersect the central rivet at a considerable angle. In general, such devices cannot be used to grab, turn, or hold anything, and are primarily employed for trimming wires and cutting thin bolts, nails, and so on.

These tools are usually made from strong and durable alloys. Sharpened to the max, they easily make indents on many materials. For sufficient toughness and high wear resistance, many diagonal cutters come thermally treated and oil-hardened. Also, such tools come with plastic and rubber handles which make their use easier and more convenient. These handles are resistant to electric current, which is needed for safety when you are working with a harness.
