Precision flush-cut diagonal pliers
The XCELITE MS545VN is a 4-inch diagonal cutting plier designed for precision electronics work. Its flush cut profile and pointed nose allow clean trimming of component leads in tight spaces. The tool is ESD-safe to protect sensitive devices during assembly or repair. It suits technicians who need accurate, low-force cutting on fine wire.
Spring-return action with cushion grip
A spring-return mechanism opens the jaws automatically after each cut, reducing hand fatigue during repetitive tasks. Standard cushion grips provide comfort without adding bulk. The uninsulated design means the tool must not be used on live circuits. Maximum cutting capacity is 0.8 mm diameter or 20 AWG wire.
No bundled accessories or software
This plier ships as a single hand tool with no additional accessories, cases or software. Buyers who need insulated handles for electrical safety, a storage pouch or a multi-tool kit will need to source those separately. The item is restricted from sale in certain states.

Questions about this item
How do I fit the spring-return mechanism so the jaws open automatically after each cut?
The pliers ship with the spring already seated between the handles; the step people miss is checking that both spring ends sit in the machined grooves before the first squeeze.
What part will need replacement first with daily use?
The flush-cut edges on the 0.8 mm jaw faces wear before the cushion grips or spring, so plan to replace the tool when cuts stop being clean.
At what wire size does the cutter reach its limit during a long harness job?
The spec lists a maximum of 20 AWG or 0.8 mm diameter; thicker conductors will not cut cleanly and can damage the precision jaws.
