Wire Cutters
Also known as diagonal-cutting pliers.
Oval-head cutters are more durable than tapered-head cutters.
Ultra-grip cutters are the most comfortable for repeated cuts. The grips are rubber and plastic, so they won't slip.
Cut profile refers to the amount of pinch left on the tip of the wire after it has been cut. Pointed cutters produce a deeply pointed, pinched end. Use for electrical and general applications.
