3D side wire cutters pliers for wires like Plato 170 + cap

3D side cutters - precision wire cutters for leads

Side cutters, an excellent counterpart to the PLATO 170 model, are precision pliers designed for accurate trimming of soldered PCB assemblies and electronics work. These specialized cutters are an ideal choice for anyone working with delicate, precision components.

This tool stands out for its high precision and build quality, which is why it is widely used among electronics enthusiasts and model makers who value accuracy and durability. The set also includes a blade guard cap that protects your fingers from accidental pokes during storage.

Key technical features

• Thin, flat blades - ideal for precision work
• Angled tip - allows cutting flush to a flat surface without leaving protruding cut ends
• Maximum cutting diameter - intended for copper wire up to 1 mm in diameter
• Rubber grips - provide a secure hold and precision while working
• Low weight - a light tool that does not tire your hands during extended use

Example applications

• Trimming component leads after soldering onto PCB boards
• Precision cutting of thin copper wire (up to 1 mm)
• Model-making tasks that require accurate cutting of small parts
• Building and modifying electronic circuits and prototypes
• Working fine details in 3D-printed plastic parts

Benefits of choosing this tool

• High cutting precision - perfectly flat cuts without distortion
• Safe to use - the included cap helps protect against cuts
• Comfortable to work with - ergonomic rubber handles help prevent the tool from slipping
• Versatile - indispensable in any electronics hobbyist’s workshop
• Protects components - gentle cutting does not damage neighboring parts on the board

Important usage information

The tool is designed for precision work with soft materials. Note that it is not suitable for cutting very hard steel wire. For safety, the cutters must not be used to cut live, energized wires.
