Hardened-Wire Cutters


Cutters	Cutters with Adjustable-Force Joint

These powerful cutters use a nipping action to cut extra-hard wire with ease. They’re also known as diagonal-cutting pliers.

Spring-Assisted Open—Spring-assisted cutters open automatically when you release the handles.

Adjustable-Force Joint—Cutters with an adjustable-force joint let you add power with the push of a button. When the button is pressed in, they require 40% less effort to make cuts than standard cutters of the same length.

Miter Angle Cutters

Make accurate cuts at precise angles in material that is too pliable for a saw, such as weatherstripping, or too hard for scissors, such as wooden dowels. These cutters are often used to cut trim to create corners in door and window frames. The miter guide is notched to line up your workpiece. 8 _1/2" long cutters are notched at 15° increments. 8 _3/4" long cutters are notched at 45°, 90°, and 120°.

Replacement Blades—Cutters with a replaceable blade allow you to switch out the blade when it gets dull.

High-Force Sheet Metal-Cutting Snips with Offset Handles


Style A	Style B


Cutting Pattern - Straight, Right Curves	Cutting Pattern - Straight, Left Curves

Cutting Pattern - Straight, Right Curves, Left Curves

Keep your hands clear of the material being cut with the offset handles on these snips. Also known as aviation snips, they have a double hinge that provides high cutting force with low gripping pressure. A spring opens the jaws for quick cutting, and a locking latch holds them together when the snips are not in use.

Style B—Style B snips are easy to use with one hand since the handles don’t open wide. This makes them comfortable to grip. You can lock and unlock them with either hand.

Serrated Edge—Serrated blades grip material to prevent slipping.
