Maun 2990-140 Diagonal Cutting Plier for Hard Wire 140 mm | Compact High Leverage Tool | Cuts 2.0 mm Hard Wire and 3.0 mm Soft Wire with Ease | Professional Quality

Diagonal Cutting Pliers
A diagonal cutting plier is designed purely for cutting metal, such as wire, nails and springs. These pliers work by applying a high shearing force to the metal, that indents and wedges it apart. Key requirements are a high-leverage design and tough, accurate cutting edges. High leverage has been traditionally achieved by increasing the handle length. A more compact, lightweight tool results from a compound-lever design that increases the multiple of the hand force at the cutting edge.
Maun 2999-140 Diagonal Cutting Plier For Hard Wire Comfort Grips 140 mm
Maun’s 2999-140 is its most compact diagonal cutting plier, suitable for the smaller hand or finer working. It has been engineered for high performance, especially where repeated cutting is required. The cutting edges on the jaws are precision machined from high quality steel for accuracy. These are subsequently induction hardened to achieve industry-leading hardness of HRC 64.
The tool features a compound-lever design using two distinct pivot points. These multiply the hand force applied by 18 times at the cutting edge, reducing operator fatigue, especially with constant use.
The cutting capacity of the plier is 1.6 mm diameter for piano wire, 2.0 mm diameter for hard wire and 3.0 mm diameter for soft wire. The tool is 140 mm long, and has a 10 mm jaw opening and 8 mm jaw width. Its handles have soft plastic grips for added comfort.
Built To Last
Like all Maun tools, this cutter is built to last. It is constructed with blackened steel jaws that are induction hardened to HRC 64 for durability. To protect against rust, the handles are zinc plated. The cutting plier conforms to rigorous British and international standards (BS 3087-7:1996, ISO 5747:1995). It is manufactured in our factory in Nottinghamshire, England by our team of plier-making experts.
