Snipe nose side cutting pliers feature dimensionally stable elastic tips that remain intact even when twisted. The distortion-tolerant, elastic precision tips are complemented by half-round, long, tapered jaws. These pliers have cutting edges designed for soft, medium-hard, and hard wire, with the cutting edges additionally induction-hardened to a hardness of approximately 61 HRC. The tool offers various capacities, including half-moon, square, step-like square, and triangular, as well as clamping widths for hexagon, round, and square shapes.
