Side Cutters (Diagonal Cutters)

Snip conductors cleanly at the jaws' edge — the workhorse for trimming to length at a terminal.

  • Diagonal cutting edges — shear against each other
  • Pivot joint — transfers grip pressure into shear
  • Spring return — opens the jaws for rapid repeat cuts
  • Beaded insulation grips — rated to a working voltage
🔧 Use it while you build
⚠ Safety note

Use the cutting edge only for the conductor sizes stamped on the tool. Cutting armour or steel with a copper cutter blunts it — and an unblunted cutter can slip onto your fingers.
