Ideal 35-9029 Diagonal Cutters

These insulated diagonal cutting pliers are built for electricians and maintenance technicians working on live circuits up to 1,000 V. The drop forged high carbon steel construction provides durability for professional daily use. The orange handles offer oil, chemical, perspiration and water resistance for a secure grip in tough conditions.

8-1/2 Inch Capacity and Flush Cut Profile

The 8 inch overall length and 3/4 inch jaw length deliver leverage for cutting wire and cable in electrical panels and junction boxes. The flush cut profile allows clean trimming of component leads and conductors. Maximum jaw opening of 3/4 inch limits use to smaller gauge wires and prevents cutting larger cables or bolts.

Thermals Noise and Power Draw

As a manual hand tool, these pliers generate no operational noise, heat or power draw during use. The insulated handles protect the user from electrical shock up to the rated voltage. Oil and chemical resistant grips maintain comfort and control without requiring external power sources or cooling considerations.

Questions about this item

Will the 8-1/2 inch length fit in the same tool pouch as my older 7 inch cutters?

The overall length is 8 inches, so it needs a slightly longer pocket than a 7 inch pair.

How can I confirm the insulation is still rated for 1,000 V after I start using them?

Inspect the orange handles for cracks, cuts or contamination before each job; intact insulation maintains the 1,000 V rating.

Does the package include a tether lanyard or do I need to buy one separately?

The pliers are not tether ready, so no lanyard is included; a separate tether attachment would be required.
