Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What materials can these diagonal cutting pliers cut?

A: These 170 model diagonal wire cutters are designed to cut soft to medium-hardness materials including copper wire, electronic component leads, fishing line, plastic 3D print supports, small metal wires, and jewelry wire. They are not recommended for cutting hardened steel wire or bolts.

Q: Are these pliers suitable for 3D printing support removal?

A: Yes! The slim 125mm profile and sharp flush-cut jaw make these diagonal pliers an excellent tool for trimming 3D printer support structures and cleaning up prints quickly and precisely.

Q: What is the difference between the 1pc, 5pc, and 10pc options?

A: The only difference is the quantity. The 5-pack and 10-pack options are ideal for workshops, classrooms, makerspaces, or anyone who wants backup tools on hand. All units are identical in quality and specifications.

Q: How does the automatic rebound spring work?

A: A built-in coil spring between the handles automatically pushes the jaws back open after each cut. This reduces the effort needed during repetitive cutting tasks and helps minimize hand fatigue over long work sessions.
