Electrical-Insulating Wire Cutters

Wire with Pointed Cut Profile

Side Cutting Edge

These cutters have insulated grips to protect against accidental contact with live electrical circuits. They are tested to 1,000 volts to meet IEC 60900 and ASTM F1505. Cutters produce a deeply pointed, pinched end on the tip of the wire. Use for electrical and general applications. The finger guards prevent your fingers from slipping off the handle and making contact with the jaws. Also known as diagonal-cutting pliers.
