Side Cutters 8in 200mm Heavy Duty Forged High Carbon Steel

A practical pair of 8in side cutters for cutting wire, cable and small fasteners across everyday repair and fitting jobs. Made from forged high carbon steel, they combine a heavy duty build with a manageable 200mm size that is easy to keep in a tool bag or workshop drawer.

Used across electrical work, automotive jobs, workshop use and DIY repairs, these heavy duty wire cutters suit anyone who needs a neat, controlled cut rather than rough snips. They are handy for trimming copper and aluminium wire, cutting cable ties, tidying wiring during vehicle maintenance, and detail work such as PCB leads, model making or jewellery work. When cleaner cable work matters, the flush-cut edge helps leave less burr to tidy up afterwards.

The 200mm length gives a useful balance of reach and handling, so they feel substantial without being too bulky for closer work. Forged high carbon steel construction gives them the toughness needed for regular use, while the Ni-Fe finish helps resist rust and corrosion. Precision-ground blades are intended to give a sharper cut, including on hardened wire up to 2-3mm, which makes them useful to keep close to hand for repeated maintenance, fitting and trimming jobs.
