Economy Wire Cutters
Choose these wire cutters for your occasional use. Compared to standard wire cutters, they're not as durable. However, they have a slimmer head, so they fit where space is limited. This makes them great for depaneling panel circuit boards and cutting small gauge wire. Also known as diagonal-cutting pliers.
Cutters with an oval head are more durable than cutters with a tapered head. Cutters with a tapered head fit more easily in tight spaces than cutters with an oval head. However, they are less durable.
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 them for electrical and general applications. Flush cutters produce a cut with virtually no pinch left on the tip of the wire after it has been cut, creating clean connections for easy soldering. However, flush-cut tools don’t last as long as pointed ones.
Tip-cutting tools allow precise cutting from above.
Spring-assisted jaws open automatically when you release the handles.
Cutters with a wire catch hold onto one side of a wire that's been cut to prevent it from falling. To engage the catch, keep the blades together after making a cut. Open the blades to let go of the wire.

Wire Cutters
Also known as diagonal-cutting pliers.
A tapered head fits more easily in tight spaces but is less durable than an oval head.
Cut profile refers to the amount of pinch left on the tip of the wire after it has been cut. 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.
Spring-assisted jaws open automatically when you release the handles.

Lindstrom Static-Control Wire Cutters
The grips on these tools divert static electricity faster than our other static-control wire cutters, preventing buildup from electrostatic discharge (ESD) that can damage sensitive equipment. Cutters have spring-assisted jaws that open automatically when you release the handles and an adjustable jaw pivot that keeps the jaws aligned. Also known as diagonal-cutting pliers.
Angled-head cutters are also known as oblique-head cutters.
Tapered-head cutters fit more easily in tight spaces but are less durable than oval-head cutters. Those with a reduced head thickness, also called tapered and relieved head thickness, allow close trimming in confined spaces.
Cut profile refers to the amount of pinch left on the tip of the wire after it has been cut.
Semiflush cutters are the most widely used for electronics assembly and produce a slightly pointed, pinched end. Flush cutters produce a cut with virtually no pinch, creating clean connections for easy soldering. Flush-cut tools don’t last as long as semiflush.
Cutters with an ultra grip have the most comfortable hold because their grip is made of hard and soft materials.

Flush cutters leave almost no pinch, creating clean connections for easy soldering, but they don’t last as long as pointed and semiflush cutters. Semiflush cutters are more accurate than pointed-cut tools. They produce a pointed, pinched end often used in electronics assembly.
Static-dissipative tools divert static faster than antistatic tools.
Cutters with a wire catch grip the wire after it has been cut, so it doesn’t fall off or fly into your workspace.

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.
Ultra grip is made of hard and soft materials for a more comfortable grip than cushion style.
Static dissipative tools divert static faster than antistatic tools.

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.

Easy-Cut Static-Control Wire Cutters
Make cuts easily and comfortably while protecting sensitive equipment from static discharge. The grips drain static from the wire you’re cutting, so they’re safe to use on equipment such as circuit boards. Leverage points in the jaws give you more power than other cutters while requiring less effort and strain on your hands. For quick repeat cuts, the jaws are spring assisted to pop open after you release the handles.
The head is tapered, so they fit more easily in crowded spaces than oval-head cutters, but they dull more quickly. Also called diagonal cutting pliers, these cutters produce semiflush cuts, which result in a slightly pointed, pinched end on your wire. This type of cut is often used for electronics assembly work. Semiflush cutters are generally more accurate than pointed-cut tools.

Long-Nose Pliers
Long jaws give you access to tight spaces while letting you grip, bend, and twist wire and other small workpieces.
Standard-nose and slim-nose pliers are also known as needle-nose or chain-nose pliers. Slim-nose pliers have thinner and more tapered tips than standard-nose pliers, so they fit in tighter spaces. Wide-nose pliers have tips almost twice as wide as those of standard-nose pliers to give you a better grip on your work. They’re also known as duckbill and flat-nose pliers.
Cushion-grip pliers have plastic grips for comfort. Pliers with spring-assisted jaws open automatically when you release the handles.
Pliers with wire cutter have a cutting blade on the jaws.

Parallel-Jaw Pliers
The jaws remain parallel as they move to keep irregularly shaped objects from slipping forward when pressure is applied. By clamping in parallel, the jaws contact more of a workpiece than standard pliers, which means they grip it better and are less likely to damage it.
Standard-nose pliers are also known as needle-nose and chain-nose pliers.
Pliers with a wire groove have a slot in the lower jaw for feeding wire and pins down the throat of the pliers. Close the pliers to hold material firmly in place during pulling operations.
