Economy Corrosion-Resistant Wire Cutters
This cutter is stainless steel, which provides excellent corrosion resistance. It has a semiflush cut profile, which produces a slightly pointed, pinched end on the tip of the wire and is the most widely used for electronics assembly. The spring-assisted jaws open automatically when you release the handles. Also known as diagonal-cutting pliers.

Corrosion-Resistant Wire Cutters
These cutters are stainless steel, which provides excellent corrosion resistance. Also known as diagonal-cutting pliers.
Oval-head cutters are more durable than tapered-head cutters. Tapered-head cutters fit more easily in tight spaces than oval-head cutters, but they’re less durable.
Ultra-grip cutters are the most comfortable for repeated cuts. The grips are rubber and plastic, so they won't slip.
Cut profile refers to the amount of pinch left on the tip of the wire after it has been cut. Pointed cutters produce a deeply pointed, pinched end. Use for electrical and general applications. Semiflush cutters are the most widely used for electronics assembly and produce a slightly pointed, pinched end. They are generally more accurate than pointed-cut tools. Flush cutters produce a cut with virtually no pinch, creating clean connections for easy soldering. Flush-cut tools don’t last as long as pointed and semiflush.
Cutters with an offset head are also known as oblique-head cutters.
Spring-assisted jaws open automatically when you release the handles.
Tools with a narrow tip profile are for cutting fine wire.
Cutters with a wire catch grip the wire after it has been cut, so it doesn’t fall off or fly into your workspace.

Corrosion-Resistant Wire Cutters with Carbide Blades
Cut steel, spring steel, and other hard wire without worrying about your wire cutters rusting. Made of tungsten carbide, the blades on these cutters are the hardest, longest lasting ones in our wire cutter offering. Both the blades and the stainless steel body on these cutters resist corrosion, so they won’t rust from use or storage in damp areas. These wire cutters make semiflush cuts, producing a slightly pointed, pinched end. Generally more accurate than pointed cuts, semiflush cuts are the most commonly used in electronics assembly. These wire cutters are also known as diagonal-cutting pliers.

Corrosion-Resistant Static-Control Wire Cutters
These cutters are stainless steel, which provides excellent corrosion resistance. The grips drain static from your application, preventing buildup from electrostatic discharge (ESD) that can damage sensitive equipment. Cutters have spring-assisted jaws that open automatically when you release the handles. Also known as diagonal-cutting pliers.
A tapered head fits more easily in tight spaces but is less durable than an oval head.

Corrosion-Resistant Static-Control Wire Cutters with Carbide Blades
Slice through nickel, titanium, and other hard wire without building up electrostatic discharge (ESD) or rusting out your tool. These wire cutters have carbide blades—the hardest, longest-lasting blades we offer. The handles drain static away from the blades, protecting sensitive equipment such as circuit boards as you cut. Both the blades and the stainless steel body resist corrosion, so they won’t rust if used or stored in damp areas.
These cutters make semiflush cuts, producing a slightly pointed, pinched end. Generally more accurate than pointed cuts, semiflush cuts are most widely used for electronics assembly. The jaws are spring assisted, so they open automatically when you release the handles. These wire cutters are also known as diagonal-cutting pliers.
Oval-head cutters stay sharp longer than tapered-head cutters.
Tapered-head cutters fit more easily in crowded spaces than oval-head cutters, but they dull more quickly.

Corrosion-Resistant Static-Control Wire End Cutters
Made of stainless steel, these cutters won’t rust even when stored in damp environments. The grips drain static away from the blades to prevent damage to sensitive equipment from electrostatic discharge (ESD). Also known as nippers, these cutters have wide, flat jaws that make flush cuts, so you don’t nick anything beneath your wire. The spring-assisted jaws open automatically when you release the handles.

Corrosion-Resistant Long-Nose Pliers
Made of stainless steel or titanium, these pliers are good for environments where moisture and other contaminants are present. Use their long jaws to grip, bend, and twist wire and other small workpieces.
Stainless steel pliers resist corrosion that can hinder joint movement, but the jaws will wear more quickly than steel jaws. Wide-nose pliers have tips almost twice as wide as those of standard long-nose pliers to give you a better grip on your work. They’re also known as duckbill and flat-nose pliers. Ultra-grip pliers have grips made of hard and soft materials for comfort and slip resistance. They’re shaped to fit comfortably in your hand and help reduce strain when performing repetitive tasks.
Pliers with wire cutter have a cutting blade on the jaws.
Corrosion-Resistant Wire Gripping and Cutting Pliers
Made of stainless steel or titanium, these pliers are good for environments where moisture and other contaminants are present. Also known as lineman’s and combination pliers, use them to pull, bend, and cut wire. The jaws have a flat area for general gripping and a curved area for round material.
Stainless steel pliers resist corrosion that can hinder joint movement, but the jaws will wear more quickly than steel jaws.
Titanium pliers are nonmagnetic, so they are often used for work on MRI machines where magnetic tools can cause damage or injury.
Cushion-grip pliers have plastic grips for comfort.
