Cutters are pliers for the separation or cutting of wires or strings. Next to the standard wire cutters we offer pliers for front or vertical cut, suiting different cutting applications.

In general our standard plier is suitable for most situations in the Electronics and is used to cut the whole cable or cable strands only. It is also used for PCB assembling. Due to the lever action of the cutter, even very strong cable strands can be cut easily without much force.

Here is a quick overview of the most popular pliers:

Cutter with Chamfered Cut

A chamfer is a slanted cut towards its main cutting edge. This is ideal, if there is a lot of strain on the cutting edges thus increases its life period.

Cutters with Flush Cut

If you need a cut flush with adjacent areas, this one is the best used.

Cutters with Front Cut

Mostly used in difficult to reach areas. If you do not cut directly on the component part, you can use variations of Front cutters with height adjustment.

Cutters with Oblique or Vertical Cut

Ideal for access in difficult to reach areas.

All Pliers are available in 4 different versions:

  • Standardversion
  • With Secure-clip
  • In ESD version, Electrostatic Discharge
  • With Secure-clip and ESD

Do you want the pliers in an individual design, maybe as present for your employees or customers? No problem – Color and Logo can be changed and printed according to your company!
