140-160mm CrMo Side Cutting Pliers

When your work puts you inside panels, junction boxes, or tight harness runs, you need a compact cutter that delivers clean results without beating up your hands. This 160 mm (6.3 in) CrMo plier is purpose-built for exactly that kind of professional demand.

The chrome-molybdenum steel head provides lasting edge retention and pivot strength, so the jaws stay aligned cut after cut. The side cutting geometry trims wire and soft materials without crushing strands or leaving rough edges — important when conductors must seat cleanly in terminals and connectors.

Wrapping the handle is a TPR grip shaped to the natural contours of your hand. Thermoplastic rubber absorbs vibration and resists slipping, even when your palms are damp from a hot crawl space or a long shift on the production floor. The result is noticeably less hand fatigue over hours of repetitive cutting.

At just 165 g (5.8 oz), the tool rides comfortably in a belt pouch or apron pocket all day. The 160 mm frame gives you the control you need in confined spaces while still providing enough leverage for clean, confident cuts on copper, aluminum, and similar conductors.

Whether you are an electrician roughing in a new build, a maintenance tech servicing motor controls, or a bench technician trimming component leads, this plier delivers the combination of comfort, durability, and precision that professional work requires.
