Wire Cutting Tools and Their Types
                     Wire Cutting Tools & Their Types
Wire cutters are used to cut copper, brass, iron, aluminum, 
and steel wire. Some wire cutters have insulated handles, 
which ensure smooth cutting of the wires.
SOME OF THE COMMONLY USED PLIERS 
& CUTTERS
There are also tools used only for cutting wires (as against wire 
cable and rope). Use the right pliers or wire cutters for the work.
• Side Cutting Pliers
• Diagonal Cutting Pliers
• Long Nose Pliers
• Flat Nose Pliers
• Utility Pliers
• Slip Joint Pliers
• End Cutting Pliers
TIPS FOR USING PLIERS & WIRE 
CUTTERS
• Always wear safety glasses or goggles, or a face shield (with 
safety glasses or goggles) whenever there's a possible 
hazard from flying particles, pieces of wire, etc.
• Cut at right angles. Never rock the cutter from side to side or 
bend the wire back and forth against the cutting edges.
• Choose pliers or wire cutters with an edge span of 6 cm - 9 
cm (2 1/2 - 3 1/2 in.) to stop your palm or fingers from being 
pinched when the tools are closed.
