The snipe-nose side cutters feature dimensionally stable, elastic tips that remain effective even when twisted. The distortion-resistant, elastic precision tips are complemented by long, tapered, half-round jaws. 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 about 61 HRC. The tool offers various capacities, including half-round, square, stepped square, and triangular shapes, as well as clamping widths for hexagonal, round, and square forms.
