Cutters are convenient hand-held tools used to cut different types of materials. A standard pair of cutters will have two levers joined together by a fulcrum placed closer to one end. The jaws are the shorter part, and the handles are the more extended section. These tools are known to use levers to increase the strength of grip exerted by the operator. When the handles are then pressed by hand, the force applied is magnified at the part where the pincers come together. Wire cutters can be used for several applications that generally cannot be worked on by bare hands.

Different Types of Cutters
Side Cutters operate by indenting the cable apart. They work better as compared to scissors and knives. They are considered ideal for stripping insulation, holding, splicing, or cutting leads.
Flush Cutters are the type of cutters used mainly for soft and semi-hard materials. They are ideal for trimming headpins, eyepins, and beading wire.
Diagonal Cutters allow a diagonal cut for most soft materials like soft copper. They are designed mainly for crimping the cables apart to provide room for precision cuts. They are ideal for gripping and cutting, and stripping insulation from wires.
Cable Cutters are mainly used for electrical applications. To prevent electrical shocks, cable cutters are insulated. Cable cutters are ideal for both industrial and electrical applications.
Common Sizes of Cutters
It is essential to keep in mind that they can also be identified by size along with the different types. The sizes are usually measured by the jaw length or overall tool length in millimeters. The standard sizes are categorized as:
- Heavy-duty wire cutters
- Mini side cutters
- Large Wire Cutters
