Short Description

The Mini Side Cutting Plier 1405 is a high-precision electrical and crafting tool designed for clean, effortless flush-cutting of soft wires and small component leads in densely packed assemblies.

Long Description

Forged from high-carbon steel and induction-hardened to a high Rockwell hardness, the 1405 model is engineered for durability and surgical cutting precision. Unlike larger industrial cutters, this 115-mm (4.5-inch) tool features a slim, tapered head that allows it to reach into tight spaces on circuit boards or inside delicate mechanical housings. The cutting edges are precision-aligned and honed to ensure a sharp, clean snip every time, preventing the crushing of delicate wire strands.

The tool is finished with a high-polish head and a protective anti-rust coating. To facilitate high-frequency repetitive work, it is equipped with a smooth-action double leaf-spring mechanism that automatically resets the jaws to the open position. Paired with ergonomic anti-slip rubberized handles, these pliers provide the user with maximum comfort and high-leverage control, significantly reducing hand fatigue during intensive assembly or repair sessions.
