Diagonal Cutting Pliers

Also known as wire cutters, snips and side cutters, depending on where you are in the world, these tools are designed specifically to cut wire. There are a slew of reasons you may need to cut wire, and depending on the specific model of diagonal pliers, you can cut anything from copper, brass, iron, aluminum and steel.

The pliers work by wedging the wire apart. The cutting edges dig into the wire, creating indentations that lead to a full severing of the wire. Generally, these tools are not used for grabbing, but if you know what you’re doing and don’t apply too much pressure, you can use them for that purpose as well.
