Precision Static-Control Wire End Cutters

Shaped like tweezers, these cutters make accurate, flush cuts in small wire without damaging the surface underneath. The grips drain static away from the tips, protecting sensitive components from electrostatic discharge (ESD). These end cutters are often used to trim excess wire leads after soldering electronic components onto circuit boards.

Tungsten Carbide Tip—Cutters with tungsten carbide tips cut through the hardest metal and stay sharp longer than cutters with steel tips. These cutters have stainless steel handles to resist rusting in damp or humid environments.

9/32" Long Tip—Cutters with _9/32” lg. tips are short and rounded at the end to give you the best view of your wire. They’re often used under microscopes or in other small spaces.

Rubber Grip—Cutters with rubber grips are cushioned for a comfortable hold.

Electrically-Insulating Wire Cutters


	Wire with Pointed Cut Profile

These cutters have insulated grips to protect against accidental contact with live electrical circuits. They are tested to 1,000 volts to meet IEC 60900 and ASTM F1505. Cutters produce a deeply pointed, pinched end on the tip of the wire. Use for electrical and general applications. The finger guards prevent your fingers from slipping off the handle and making contact with the jaws. Also known as diagonal-cutting pliers.

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.

Ultra Grip—Ultra-grip cutters are the most comfortable for repeated cuts. The grips are rubber and plastic, so they won't slip.

Pointed—Pointed cutters produce a deeply pointed, pinched end. Use for electrical and general applications.

Semi-Flush—Semi-flush 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—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. Those with an oval head and an ultra grip allow you to engage and disengage the spring-assist feature.

Wire Catch—Cutters with a wire catch grip the wire after it has been cut, so it doesn’t fall off or fly into your workspace.

Black-Oxide Steel—Black-oxide steel cutters resist corrosion in dry environments.

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

Corrosion-Resistant Static-Control Wire End Cutters


	Wire with Semi-Flush Cut Profile

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 Wire Cutters with Carbide Blades


	Wire with Semi-Flush Cut Profile

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 semi-flush cuts, producing a slightly pointed, pinched end. Generally more accurate than pointed cuts, semi-flush cuts are the most commonly used in electronics assembly. These wire cutters are also known as diagonal-cutting pliers.

Long-Reach Wire Cutters


Oval Head	Wire with Semi-Flush Cut Profile

Reach deep into crowded access panels and other tight spaces without the handles getting in the way. These cutters have an extra-long neck, so you can cut wire without knocking into or disassembling nearby components. Often used to cut copper, aluminum, and steel wire, the blades stay sharp after repeated use. They make semi-flush cuts, producing a slightly pointed, pinched end. Generally more accurate than pointed cuts, semi-flush cuts are the most widely used for electronics assembly. Also known as diagonal-cutting pliers.

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.

Easy-Cut Wire Cutters


Cushion Grip	Ultra Grip	Wire with Pointed Cut Profile

Get more power with less effort—these wire cutters are specially designed to increase leverage compared to standard wire cutters. They make a deeply pointed, pinched end on the tip of your wire. Also known as diagonal-cutting pliers.

Cushion Grip—Cutters with a cushion grip have leverage points in both the jaws and the handle for more force. The jaws open automatically when you release the handles.

Ultra Grip—Cutters with an ultra grip have a box-joint design that allows you to use 40% less effort compared to other wire cutters of the same length. The joint helps these cutters maintain jaw alignment, even after frequent use. The ultra-grip handle is made of plastic and rubber for comfort and slip resistance during repeated cuts.
