    Cut Profile

    The grips drain static from your application, preventing buildup from electrostatic discharge (ESD) that can damage sensitive equipment. Also known as diagonal-cutting pliers.
    Oval Head—Oval-head cutters are more durable than tapered-head cutters.
    Tapered Head—Tapered-head cutters fit more easily in tight spaces than oval-head cutters, but they’re less durable.
    Pointed—Pointed cutters produce a deeply pointed, pinched end. Use for electrical and general applications.
    Flush—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 semi-flush.
    Spring-Assisted Jaws—Spring-assisted jaws open automatically when you release the handles.
    Cut Profile—Cut profile refers to the amount of pinch left on the tip of the wire after it has been cut.
