These are my EVERYDAY diagonals and the only I suggest. They always outperform all others. The pivot joint is the best I have used and if lubricated occasionally, lasts. The leverage is better than others as well. Diagonal Cutters with angled head design for easy work in confined spaces. High-leverage pliers with rivet closer to the cutting edge for 36-percent greater cutting power than other plier designs. Short jaws and beveled cutting edges permit close cutting of wire. Induction-hardened cutting knives for long life. Made in USA with Custom, US-made tool steel. Hot-riveted joint ensures smooth action and no handle wobble. Plastic-dipped handles for comfort and ease of identification.

Choosing Cutting

How do I choose a cutting tool or blade?

Match the blade to the material — high-carbon steel for general cutting, bi-metal for flexibility and durability, and carbide-tipped for hard or abrasive materials. For repetitive cuts, a sharper, harder blade reduces effort and produces cleaner cuts. For tight or curved cuts, choose a shorter, narrower blade.
