High-Leverage Diagonal Cutting Pliers
These 8-inch diagonal cutting pliers provide high leverage for efficient wire cutting. The angled head design allows access in confined spaces. Knife-to-knife blades deliver a flush cut profile on copper and ACSR cable. They are built for professional electrical and maintenance work.
Not for insulated or ESD-safe requirements
These pliers have no voltage rating and are not insulated, so they must not be used on live circuits. They also lack ESD-safe handles for static-sensitive electronics. Buyers needing tether-ready tools or non-sparking materials should select a different model.
12.5-degree angled head for tight access
The head offset angle of 12.5 degrees is the key specification that determines whether this tool reaches the work area. This angle lets the jaws engage wire in panels or junctions where straight-head pliers cannot fit. Verify the clearance matches your application before purchase.

Questions about this item
How much space does the 8 in overall length and 1 1/8 in jaw width require in a tool pouch?
The pliers measure 8 in long with a 1 1/8 in jaw width, so allow a pocket at least that deep and wide enough for the angled head profile.
What is the correct way to engage the knife-to-knife blades on ACSR or copper cable, and what step do users often skip?
Open the jaws fully, seat the conductor against the 7/8 in cutter length, then squeeze firmly; the common mistake is cutting with only the blade tips instead of the full cutter length.
When should the diagonal cutting plier be replaced due to blade wear or Prop 65 surface degradation?
Replace the tool when the knife-to-knife blades no longer produce a clean flush cut on copper or ACSR, or if the yellow finish shows cracking that could expose the listed Prop 65 chemicals.
