The snipe-nose side cutters feature dimensionally stable elastic tips that remain intact even when twisted. The distortion-tolerant, elastic precision tips are complemented by long, tapered jaws that are semi-round. These pliers have cutting edges designed for soft, medium-hard, and hard wires, with the cutting edges additionally induction-hardened to achieve a hardness of approximately 61 HRC. The tool offers various capacities, including semi-round, square, stepped square, triangular, and clamping widths for hexagonal, round, and square shapes.
