180mm side cutting pliers built for dependable on-site performance. Compact jaws and robust edges support repeated use in confined spaces.
Precise, long-lasting cuts – thanks to induction-hardened cutting edges
Induction hardening increases the surface hardness of the cutting edges, improving wear resistance and helping edges retain sharpness during repeated use.
Sharper edges make cleaner cuts through common wires, reducing deformation and the need for frequent blade changes.
Easier access in tight spots – with round-shaped jaws
Round shaped jaws reduce bulk at the tip, allowing the jaws to approach wires at awkward angles and reach into confined spaces.
Greater accessibility helps when cutting close to housings, terminal blocks or inside switchgear without sacrificing control.
Resists corrosion on site – with black anti-corrosion finish
A treated black finish provides a protective layer on metal surfaces to slow oxidation and surface wear in damp or dirty environments.
Reduced surface corrosion prolongs tool life and keeps moving parts functioning reliably between maintenance cycles.
