Mini Diagonal Cutting Pliers

Tekton Mini Diagonal Cutting Pliers have induction hardened blades that cleanly snip 14-38 AWG soft metal wires like copper, aluminum, brass, and silver and neatly trim plastic parts and ties. Blades have a fine, shallow bevel at the face and are induction hardened to 60 - 63 AWG and produce a refined semi-flush cut. A recessed coil spring gently assists the opening action of the pliers, reducing hand fatigue and overall control. Wide profile handles create a larger contact area for fingertips to rest comfortably. Slim vinyl grips add a bit of cushion and a nonslip surface without being bulky. All Tekton mini pliers are made from a custom-engineered steel alloy with a high carbon content reaching 44 - 48 HRC in its final hardened state. The main faces of the head and upper handle get their final surface with an extra fine 320 grit polishing process. Instead of adding a thick lacquer coating that scratches or chips off over time, the surface is protected by an ultra thin layer of dry-to-touch oil that can be maintained and recoated throughout the life of the pliers.
