XCELITE 55CGNN Diagonal Cutting Plier

The XCELITE 55CGNN is a 5 in diagonal cutting plier designed for electricians and technicians who need to cut metal wire. It features an oval head and dual leaf springs for strength and durability during repetitive cutting tasks. The cushion grip handle provides a firm hold for comfortable extended use. This ESD safe tool is suited for professionals working with sensitive electronic components.

Carbon steel jaws and cushion grip

The jaws are made of carbon steel with a length of 3/4 in and a width of 19/32 in to handle standard wire cutting. Dual leaf springs reduce hand fatigue by automatically returning the handles to the open position. The cushion grip improves control and comfort during prolonged use. ESD safe construction protects sensitive components from static discharge damage.

Simple hand tool operation

No installation is required as this is a ready-to-use hand tool. The uninsulated handles mean it must not be used on live electrical circuits. Users should verify the jaw capacity matches their specific wire gauge before cutting. Improper use on hardened materials or live wires can damage the tool and create safety hazards.

Questions about this item

Will the carbon-steel jaws need resharpening or replacement after heavy wire cutting?

The carbon-steel jaws are hardened for durability; they can be touched up with a fine file if the cutting edges dull over time.

What stops the handles from spreading under continuous high-force cuts?

Dual leaf springs hold the handles in position and return them after each squeeze, preventing unwanted spread during repeated use.

Does the cushion grip stay comfortable and cool during all-day electrical work?

The cushion grip is shaped to reduce hand fatigue and does not conduct heat, so it remains comfortable through extended sessions.
