Diagonal pliers Wiha Z 40 0 03

Diagonal pliers Wiha Z 40 0 03 are precision flush-cut pliers made from C 70 special tool steel. They feature an extra-narrow, short head and a full flush cutter cutting edge designed to cut soft wires cleanly in confined spaces often encountered in electronics work. The tool includes an opening spring and a compact overall length of 128 mm with a cutting capacity of 0.8 mm.

Advantages

The C 70 special tool steel provides wear resistance and reliable cutting performance. The extra-narrow, short head allows access to particularly restricted spaces while the full flush cutter edge ensures near-flush cuts on soft wires. The opening spring improves handling speed and control, and the lightweight construction (52 g) reduces user fatigue during repetitive tasks.

Suitable for

• Cutting soft wires in electronics assemblies
• Work in confined or hard-to-reach areas
• Precision trimming of wire leads on circuit boards

Key specifications

• Material: C 70 special tool steel
• Cutting length / capacity: 0.8 mm (soft wire)
• Overall length: 128 mm
• Weight: 52 g
• Design features: extra-narrow short head, full flush cutter edge, opening spring
• Brand / Model: wiha — Diagonal pliers Wiha Z 40 0 03

How to use

Position the wire between the cutting edges near the tip for the cleanest, near-flush result. Squeeze the handles evenly to cut the wire, then release to allow the opening spring to return the pliers to the open position. For best results when trimming component leads on PCBs, cut close to the board while avoiding contact with traces or components.

Recommendations

Use these diagonal pliers only on soft wires up to the specified 0.8 mm capacity. Avoid cutting hardened steel, piano wire, or materials beyond the rated capacity to prevent damage to the cutting edges. Keep the tool clean and apply light oil to the joint periodically to maintain smooth action.
