Side Cutter pliers wiha 200 mm model 38982 high-performance insulated handles

Side Cutter pliers wiha 200 mm model 38982 high-performance insulated handles are precision cutting tools designed for reliable wire and small-component cutting. With a 200 mm overall length and hardened cutting edges, these side cutter pliers provide clean, precise cuts while ergonomic, high-performance insulated handles improve grip and reduce user fatigue. The tool is suited to electrical and general technical work where safe handling and accurate cutting are needed.

Advantages

The hardened cutting edges sustain sharpness and resist chipping, enabling consistent performance over time. The 200 mm length gives a balance between reach and control for both confined spaces and general bench work. High-performance insulated handles offer enhanced grip texture and reduce slippage during use, while providing an insulating layer that supports safer handling near live components when used according to applicable safety practices. The pliers are built for durability with a robust joint that maintains alignment and cutting accuracy.

Suitable for

• Cutting copper and stranded wires in electrical installation and maintenance
• Trimming component leads and cable ties in electronics assembly
• General workshop tasks requiring precise side cutting
• Use by electricians, technicians and industrial maintenance personnel

Key specifications

• Overall length: 200 mm
• Cutting style: side cutter (diagonal cutting)
• Cutting edges: hardened for durable performance
• Handle type: high-performance insulated handles with textured grip
• Joint type: precision rivet joint for alignment stability
• Typical applications: wire cutting, lead trimming, small part cutting

How to use

Select the appropriate working position and, if working near electrical circuits, ensure the circuit is de-energized or follow required safety procedures. Position the wire or small component as close to the pivot as practical for maximum cutting leverage. Squeeze the handles evenly to make a clean cut, then release and inspect the cut edge. Keep the tool clean and free of debris; apply a light lubricant to the joint periodically to maintain smooth action. Store the pliers in a dry place to prevent corrosion.

Recommendations

Use these side cutter pliers for copper and soft metal wires and for trimming component leads. Do not use the pliers to cut hardened steel, nails, or other materials beyond the tool's intended rating to avoid damaging the cutting edges. When working near live circuits, adhere to local electrical safety standards and use appropriate personal protective equipment.
