Overview
Not a slip-joint or locking plier, this Craftsman tool is a diagonal cutter for snipping wire and small fasteners. The grip is ergonomic and the listing names TPR and alloy steel among the materials.
Diagonal jaws cut close to a surface, which helps trimming zip ties and leads. The listing mentions electrical use but gives no voltage rating. The weight figure is clearly wrong, and the material fields look swapped, so rely on the length only.
Who it's for
Home users trimming cable ties, wire and small leads will use the cutting edge often. Anyone working on live circuits should confirm a voltage rating from the maker first.
Pros and cons
- Diagonal jaws cut close to surfaces
- Ergonomic grip shape
- Compact length for drawers
- Cutting and electrical uses listed
- Insulation rating not stated
- Listed weight looks wrong
- Material fields appear swapped
- Wire gauge capacity not given
Performance notes
Diagonal jaws concentrate force on a small edge, so soft copper and ties cut with little effort. Hardened wire or screws can chip the edge. Handle leverage and the pivot fit set how clean each cut feels.
