Professional diagonal cutter for electricians

The XCELITE S55SNN is a 5 in diagonal cutting plier built for wire cutting tasks. Its carbon steel construction and oval head design suit professionals who need a durable hand tool for electrical work. The uninsulated handles mean it is not intended for live circuit applications.

Jaw capacity and cutting limits

The jaws measure 19/32 in wide and 49/64 in long, giving sufficient reach for typical wire gauges encountered in electrical boxes. The oval head profile helps grip round objects such as screws and bolts while cutting. Hardened carbon steel edges maintain sharpness through repeated use on copper and aluminium conductors.

Dual leaf springs and cushion grip

Dual leaf springs return the jaws automatically after each cut, reducing hand fatigue during repetitive tasks. The cushion grip handle adds comfort and control for extended periods of use. No additional accessories or software are included with this standalone hand tool.

Questions about this item

Will the 19/32 in jaw width fit the terminal blocks I use on legacy panels?

The jaw width is 19/32 in and the jaw length is 49/64 in; measure your terminal blocks against those dimensions to confirm fit.

How can I verify the dual leaf springs are functioning correctly after first use?

Open and close the handles — the dual leaf springs should return the jaws smoothly without binding, and the cushion grip should stay firmly seated.

Does the package include any insulated sleeves or replacement springs for the S55SNN?

The plier ships as a single carbon-steel tool with oval head, serrated jaws and cushion grip; no insulated sleeves or spare springs are included.
