Hard-Wire Cutters
These powerful cutters use a nipping action to cut extra-hard wire with ease. They’re also known as diagonal-cutting pliers.
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.
Spring-assisted cutters open automatically when you release the handles.

Static-Control Wire End Cutters
Snip wire close against circuit boards and other electronic components without building up electrostatic discharge (ESD). These cutters have grips that drain static away from the blades to prevent damage to sensitive equipment. Also known as nippers, they have wide, flat jaws that make flush cuts, so you don’t nick anything beneath your wire. The box-joint design helps them maintain their jaw alignment, even after frequent use. A spring opens the jaws for quick cutting. Since the grips are plastic, they're comfortable when you're making repeat cuts and won't slip from your hands.
