Maun Side Cutter Parallel Plier with Return Spring, 160 mm, Plain Handle

The Maun 160mm side cutter parallel plier combines parallel serrated jaws with an integrated wire cutter and a return spring, for gripping, straightening, manipulating and cutting wire and rod. It has zinc-plated handles with grip detailing and no PVC grip sleeves.

The jaws stay parallel throughout use, and a V-slot feeds and holds wire and rod along the jaw length. Wire can also be threaded down the throat of the plier. The plier multiplies hand force by 23, and the jaws and blades are case-hardened to HRC 57. Cutting capacity is 2.0mm piano wire, 2.5mm hard wire and 4.0mm soft wire. The plier must not be used on live electrical wire.
