Plastic Cutters


		Replacement Spring

Cut excess plastic off injection molded or 3D printed parts—these make flush cuts with a smooth, finished edge. The spring-assisted jaws open automatically when you release the handles.

Adjustable Stop—Cutters with adjustable stop have an adjustment screw that prevents the jaws from closing completely, prolonging cutter life.

Head Offset Angle—Cutters with an angled head keep your work in sight and your hands clear of your work surface while you cut at an angle or from above. The blades are flat on one side, so you can make cuts close to the surface.

Static-Control Plastic Cutters


Plastic Cutters	Plastic Cutters with Ultra Grip

Safely cut plastic near electronics. The grips on these cutters divert static from your application to prevent electrostatic discharge (ESD) from building up and damaging sensitive equipment. Designed to make flush cuts with clean edges, these cutters are often used to snip cable ties and remove supports from 3D-printed parts. Spring-assisted jaws open automatically when you release the handles to help you make repeat cuts. The blades have a black-oxide coating that reduces glare under bright lights. They also resist corrosion in dry environments.

Plastic Cutters with Ultra Grip—Cutters with ultra grip have polypropylene handles that are slip resistant and comfortable to hold for repeat cuts.

Adjustable Stop—Cutters with adjustable stop allow you to adjust the distance between the blades with a set screw. To keep blades sharp for longer, leave a tiny gap between them.

Nonmagnetic Wire Cutters

Wire with

Pointed Cut

Profile

For use where even minor magnetism can cause major damage, these wire cutters are made of titanium, so they’re completely nonmagnetic. They’re often used on sensitive aerospace and medical equipment such as electromagnetic motors and MRI machines. Because there's no magnetism tugging on these tools, they're steady for precise cuts.

Titanium has excellent rust resistance, withstanding exposure to salt water and chemicals even better than stainless steel. It’s also lightweight, so you can maneuver these cutters easily without tiring your arm. While light, they’re still strong, cutting through aluminum, copper, and low-carbon steel wire. Titanium is softer than steel, though, so they won’t cut through the hardest wires, such as spring steel.

These cutters have a pointed cut profile, producing a deeply pointed, pinched end on cut wire. Use them in electrical and general applications. They’re also known as diagonal-cutting pliers.

Compact Bolt Cutters with Offset Handles

An angled cutting head keeps handles up and out of the way for trimming bolts, chain, and wire against flat surfaces. Smaller than standard bolt cutters, these cutters can be used one-handed in tight spaces. They can also fit into tool pouches. However, they provide less leverage than larger cutters, so they’re best for slicing through thin bolts and wire. The jaws are riveted onto the handles and are not replaceable. Not for use on wire rope.

Static-Control Wire Cutters with Carbide Blades

Tapered Head

Wire with Flush

Cut Profile

Tungsten carbide cutting edges are bonded to the jaws for long life. The grips drain static from your application, preventing buildup from electrostatic discharge (ESD) that can damage sensitive equipment. These cutters have spring-assisted jaws that open automatically when you release the handles. Also known as diagonal-cutting pliers.

Tapered Head—Tapered-head cutters fit more easily in tight spaces but are less durable than oval-head cutters.

Ultra Grip—Ultra-grip cutters have grips made of plastic and rubber for slip resistance and comfort during repeated cuts.

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.

Static Dissipative—Static-dissipative tools divert static faster than antistatic tools.

Cut Profile—Cut profile refers to the amount of pinch left on the tip of the wire after it has been cut.

Head Offset Angle—Cutters with an offset head are also known as oblique-head cutters.

Compact Bolt Cutter Sets

Keep a variety of small cutters on hand for cuts in tight spaces. The handles are short enough to make one-handed cuts, but they provide less leverage than standard cutters. They’re best for snipping thin bolts and wire. Use a longer cutter for more leverage. They have serrated jaws that grip the material you’re cutting and prevent it from slipping. Since the jaws are riveted onto the handles, you can’t replace them. Not for use on wire rope.

Wire Cutters with Debris Catcher


Wire with Semi-Flush Cut Profile	Wire with Flush Cut Profile

Capture scraps, such as cut cable ties and wire ends, to prevent them from falling into your equipment or flying and hitting something. The debris catcher on these wire cutters collects cut pieces securely, so you can easily dispose of them instead of picking up scattered debris from your workspace or enclosure. They’re often used in the aerospace industry to avoid Foreign Object Damage (FOD). The spring-assisted jaws on these cutters open automatically when you release the handles. Also known as diagonal-cutting pliers.

Semi-Flush—Semi-flush cutters are the most widely used for electronics assembly and produce a slightly pointed, pinched end.

Cut Profile—Cut profile refers to the amount of pinch left on the tip of the wire after it has been cut.
