The Side Cutter (Mini) 115MM is a compact diagonal cutting plier designed for close‑up trimming and precision cutting of wire and small components. Its primary use is cutting soft and medium‑hard wires, cable ties and component leads in restricted spaces where a full‑size cutter would be impractical.

Manufactured from chrome‑vanadium (Cr‑V) tool steel and heat treated, the 115mm mini side cutter has induction‑hardened cutting edges to extend service life and retain a sharp profile. The tool is finished with a satin/chrome plated surface to provide enhanced corrosion resistance and ease of cleaning, and fitted with comfortable, non‑slip insulated vinyl grips for firm control. As a hand tool it is produced to meet recognised DIN/ISO/BS hand‑tool recommendations for materials and workmanship; cutting edges and overall geometry conform to standard dimensions for diagonal cutters to ensure predictable performance.

Typical cutting capacity for this mini cutter is up to approximately 2.0 mm for soft copper conductor and around 1.6 mm for harder steel wire or piano wire, making it suitable for electricians, maintenance engineers and precision trades. The head is a side/diagonal type with precision ground, flush‑cutting lips so that close cuts can be made to component leads on PCBs, cable assemblies and general wiring tasks. Drive and threading are not applicable to this type of plier.

This compact side cutter finds regular use in electrical installation, telecommunications, electronics assembly, automotive trim work, HVAC maintenance and hobbyist/model‑making. Benefits include the corrosion‑resistant plated finish, the strength and durability from heat‑treated Cr‑V steel and the small profile that gives access to tight spaces without sacrificing cutting performance. The tool is compatible with industry practice for use alongside insulated or ESD‑safe tooling where required.
