Ingco HWSP851 Wire Stripper

This wire cutter is a hand tool used for cutting wire and cable. It typically consists of two sharp blades that are hinged together and open and close with a squeezing motion of the handles.

Wire cutters come in a variety of sizes and shapes, each designed for a specific type of wire or cable. For example, a diagonal cutter has a pointed tip that can cut wire in tight spaces, while a cable cutter has a larger, thicker blade that can cut through thicker cables.

Wire cutters are commonly used in electrical work, telecommunications, and construction, but they can also be used for a variety of DIY projects and repairs. When using a wire cutter, it's important to wear appropriate personal protective equipment, such as safety glasses and gloves, and to use the tool properly to avoid injury.

Some tips for using a wire cutter include using the appropriate cutter for the type and size of wire or cable, making sure the wire or cable is securely held in place before cutting, and positioning the cutter close to the base of the wire or cable to ensure a clean cut. It's also important to periodically check the blades for damage or wear and to replace the cutter if the blades become dull or damaged.
