Side Cutter -6''- Green & Red

Side cutters, six inches long, with green and red grips. Unlike combination pliers, which cut as a secondary function, these do nothing but cut - and because the jaws meet at an angle right at the tip, they cut flush against a surface where a combination plier cannot reach. That is exactly what electrical and electronic work needs: trimming conductors flush in a back box or consumer unit, cutting cable ties off without leaving a tail that catches a hand, snipping small nails and pins, cutting fishing line and wire, and cropping component legs on a board. Six inches gives control rather than force - heavy wire and nails want a bigger pair or a bolt cutter, and forcing these on hard steel takes a notch out of the edge that never comes back.
