Rio Grande German Slimline Oblique End Cutters

The slim profile and the angle of the jaws on these oblique end cutters make them the ideal choice for cutting wire or softer metals in confined or sharply angled spaces. Oblique end cutters feature jaws oriented so that the cutting blades are nearly perpendicular to the handles, providing better reach and visibility into close areas and delivering clean, close cuts in areas that are difficult to reach for filing or other clean up. Oblique cutters must be used on softer metals to protect their blades.
• These cutters have a box joint; one half of the joint surrounds the other, and the pivot is contained within. This joint holds its alignment far longer than a lap joint but allows the tool to open only as far as the box size.
• The double-leaf spring consists of flat, tempered metal tabs attached to the inside of each tool handle, positioned to meet and hold the handles apart (and the jaws open) until they are squeezed closed.
• Plastic-dipped handles ensure use comfort and a secure grip, even over extended work times.These cutters were forged from tool steel, then work-hardened and tempered; forging offers the best combination of strength and durability. Hardened tool steel is a very hard, strong material for cutters; jaws will not be nicked or misshapen with normal. Clean with Cosmoline® or a similar protectant; avoid contact with moisture.
