Diagonal Cutting Pliers with 6-Inch Drop-Forged Steel Jaws and Bi-Material Grip – CRAFTSMAN CMHT81646
Diagonal cutting pliers provide a compact tool for cutting suitable wire during electrical, repair and assembly tasks. CRAFTSMAN CMHT81646 uses a six-inch format with precision-oriented cutting jaws, offering close control in a hand-tool size that fits common toolboxes and pouches.
Drop-forged steel supplies strength and durability, while induction-hardened cutting edges are designed to stay sharp through repeated work. A corrosion-resistant chrome finish adds wear protection, and multi-zone bi-material grips improve comfort and control. Disconnect circuits before electrical work, wear eye protection and confirm the wire material and diameter are within the cutter’s intended capacity.
