WhatsApp Order

Diagonal cutting nippers, also known as diagonal pliers, side cutters, or wire cutters, are hand tools designed for cutting wires, cables, and small materials. The defining feature of these pliers is their sharp, angled cutting edges that allow for a clean and precise cut when snipping through various materials. The diagonal orientation of the cutting blades distinguishes them from other types of pliers, making them particularly useful for reaching into tight spaces and cutting close to a surface. These versatile tools are commonly used in electrical work, crafting, and general maintenance tasks where precision cutting is required.

SAFETY HANDLING PRECAUTIONS
  1.  Wear Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Depending on the task, consider wearing appropriate personal protective equipment, such as safety glasses or goggles, to protect your eyes from flying debris or sharp edges.
  2. Inspect the Pliers: Before use, inspect the diagonal cutting pliers for any damage, such as cracked or worn-out handles, misaligned jaws, or dull cutting edges. Do not use damaged tools; replace or repair them as needed.
  3. Select the Right Tool for the Job: Ensure that you are using the right size and type of diagonal cutting pliers for the task at hand. Using the wrong tool can lead to inefficiency and potential safety hazards.
  4. Position Your Hands Safely: Keep your hands and fingers away from the cutting edges when using diagonal cutting pliers. Place your hands on the handles, and use a secure grip to maintain control over the tool.
  5. Cut Away from Your Body: When cutting wires or materials, position the pliers so that the cutting action is away from your body. This minimizes the risk of injury if the pliers slip during the cut.
  6. Secure the Workpiece: Make sure the material you are cutting is securely held or supported. This helps prevent the workpiece from slipping or moving unexpectedly during the cutting process.
  7. Use Proper Cutting Techniques: Use controlled, steady pressure when cutting, and avoid excessive force. Jerky or forceful movements can lead to loss of control and potential injury.
  8. Keep the Cutting Edges Sharp: Regularly inspect and maintain the sharpness of the cutting edges. Dull edges can result in inefficient cutting and may lead to accidents due to increased force applied.
  9. Store Tools Properly: After use, store diagonal cutting pliers in a designated tool storage area. This prevents them from being damaged or causing accidents when not in use.
  10. Be Mindful of Surroundings: Be aware of your surroundings and the presence of others while using diagonal cutting pliers. Communicate with colleagues or bystanders to ensure a safe working environment.
  11. Avoid Using Pliers as a Hammer: Diagonal cutting pliers are designed for cutting, not for pounding or hammering. Avoid using them as makeshift hammers, as this can damage the tool and compromise safety.
