Diagonal Side Cutters — 5.5 Inch Chromium-Vanadium Steel, Red & Grey Grips, Wire & Cable
Diagonal side cutters for the daily cropping work of a bench: silver, copper and gold wire, component leads, and electrical cable when the job strays beyond jewellery. The hardened chromium-vanadium jaws are the point — edge retention through repeated, demanding cuts, so the cutters still shear cleanly months in rather than chewing at the wire.
The polished steel head resists corrosion and cleans easily, and is stamped 'DENFOS', 'GERMANY' and 'CHROME-VANADIUM'. Dual-material grips in red and dark grey carry moulded finger guards that stop the hand sliding forward on a hard cut, and the 5.5 inch (140 mm) frame balances control with leverage.
- Hardened chromium-vanadium steel cutting jaws for superior edge retention.
- Ergonomic, dual-material grips in red and dark grey provide comfort and control.
- Moulded finger guards on the handles prevent hand slippage during cutting.
- Head is stamped with 'DENFOS', 'GERMANY' and 'CHROME-VANADIUM'.
- Polished steel head resists corrosion and allows for easy cleaning.
