18 AWG Precision Diagonal Cutters

These insulated diagonal cutting pliers handle wire up to 18 AWG with a maximum cutting diameter of .031 inches. The pointed nose and flush cut profile suit precision electrical work where clean, close cuts are required. Deluxe cushion grips provide comfort during extended use. The tool is rated for 18 AWG capacity and designed for manual operation.

Upgrade From Basic Side Cutters

The flush cut profile and pointed nose replace standard diagonal pliers when trimming component leads or fine wire in tight assemblies. Insulated handles add protection for live-circuit work up to the tool's rated voltage. The jump is worth it when clean flush cuts reduce rework on dense boards or harnesses. Basic cutters leave pinch marks that these avoid.

Check Your Application First

Verify the wire gauge never exceeds 18 AWG and the diameter stays within .031 inches for reliable cutting. Confirm the 5 1/8 inch overall length and 3/8 inch jaw length fit the access space in your panels or enclosures. The manual jaw opening requires hand force; ensure the operator can apply sufficient pressure. Insulation rating must match the circuit voltage.

Questions about this item

Will the 5 1/8 inch overall length and 5/8 inch jaw width fit in my tool belt pouch?

The pliers measure 5 1/8 inches long with a 5/8 inch jaw width, so they fit most standard electrician pouches designed for diagonal cutters.

How do I adjust the joint tension on the 622NA, and what is the common mistake?

The joint is fixed with a precision rivet; do not try to tighten or loosen it, as that ruins the flush-cut alignment.

When should I replace the 622NA if it is rated for 18 AWG and .031 inch maximum wire diameter?

Replace the tool when the flush-cut edges no longer close fully at the tip, leaving a visible gap, or when the cushion grips tear and expose the metal handles.
