RS PRO Side Cutters Pliers

Precise lightweight wire cutters designed to deliver a clean straight flush cut. The ergonomically designed handle ensures a comfortable grip over long periods of use and the tapered end prevents the tool slipping while in use.
Suitable for a wide range of applications the wire cutters or nippers are ideal for electricians, engineers and prototyping and design purposes.
Flush wire cutters, or straight wire cutter, don't leave a 'spike' or angle in the wire after it has been cut. Because of the shape of their blades, they are slightly less durable than beveled cutters, but a straight cut or flush wire may be preferable where there is a risk of damaging delicate components. Where precision is more of a concern than durability, flush cutters should be used.
Though other tools such as pliers might have cable cutters integrated, specialist wire cutters typically deliver a better, neater and safer wire cutting experience.
