diagonal cutters
Angled blade pliers
Diagonal cutters are pliers with angled cutting edges designed to snip wire cleanly.
The jaws meet at an angle rather than straight across, allowing closer cuts in tight spaces.
Electricians, jewelers, and hobbyists use them for trimming wire leads and cutting small fasteners.
Also called diagonal pliers, side cutters, or dikes: Hand me the diagonal cutters.
