Side cutter Wiha 41327, 200 mm, diagonal cutting pliers

Wiha Side Cutter 41327 200 mm is a precision diagonal cutting pliers engineered for accurate cutting of wires, leads and small metal components. With a 200 mm length and hardened cutting edges, this tool is intended for electricians, electronics technicians and maintenance professionals who require clean, precise cuts in workshop, field or assembly environments. The pliers combine cutting performance with ergonomic handles that provide control and reduce hand fatigue during repetitive tasks.

Advantages

The hardened cutting edges deliver long-lasting sharpness and clean shearing of copper, soft steel and component leads without excessive deformation. Ergonomic insulated handles ensure a secure grip and improved control for precise positioning while cutting. The compact head design enables access to tight spaces and close-to-board cuts in electronics work. Overall construction emphasizes durability and repeatable cutting accuracy for routine electrical and maintenance tasks.

Suitable for

• Cutting insulated and uninsulated copper wires and cable strands
• Trimming component leads on printed circuit boards
• General maintenance and repair tasks in workshops and field service
• Assembly work requiring precise, repeatable diagonal cuts

Key specifications

• Tool type: diagonal cutting pliers (side cutter)
• Overall length: 200 mm
• Cutting edges: hardened for durability and clean cuts
• Handle: ergonomic insulated grips for control and comfort
• Head design: compact for access in confined spaces

How to use

Position the wire or component lead between the cutting edges as close to the joint as required for the task. Apply steady, even pressure on the handles until the cut is complete, avoiding twisting or levering motions that can damage the tool or the workpiece. For electronics work, hold the PCB or component steady to achieve a neat, perpendicular cut. After use, wipe the cutting edges clean and store the pliers in a dry toolbox or rack to protect the hardened edges.

Recommendations

Use the pliers only within their intended capacity: avoid cutting hardened steel, piano wire or materials beyond the specified capability to preserve edge life. Inspect handles and cutting edges regularly and replace the tool if chips or excessive wear appear. For electrical work where proven insulation to a specified voltage is required, verify insulation ratings before use.
