RS PRO ESD Flush Cutters. RS PRO ESD-safe flush cutters use shear force to cut, resulting in a cleaner cut and less mechanical shock.
The biggest advantage of this impact resistant system is that you only need to apply half the force to cut the wire compared to standard wire cutters.
"Flush" means horizontal or straight on the same plane, and flush cutters cut wire straight at right angles.
These cutting pliers are fully ESD compliant and safe for use on sensitive electronic components.
RS PRO stock a wide range of hand tools, including cutting pliers in different sizes and styles to suit all your requirements.
ESD protection types are also available.
The manufacturer also offers insulated VDE pliers and cutters that are designed to protect personnel from voltages up to 1000 V.

Electrical Specifications Telecommunications and Construction Work. Frequently Asked Questions What is the difference between flush cutters and side cutters? Flush cutters cut wire at a right angle, while side cutters or angled cutters cut at an angle.
This means that the ends of the wire are cut at an angle.
Also, cutting with flush cutters will result in smoother, more even wire ends.
What sizes of nippers are available? Nippers are available in a variety of sizes, ranging from 110 mm to 280 mm in total length.
For the same model type but different lengths, the jaw length will be the same and the handle length will be shorter or longer.
They are usually lightweight because they are often portable, but heavier types are available with wider jaws and thicker blades for cutting thicker wire.
Care and Maintenance Do not try to force the blade through materials that are too hard as this may chip or crush the blade.
These hand tools can be cleaned with soap and water to remove dirt that can cause joint problems and corrosion.
Be especially careful to clean the blades.
