Side Cutting Pliers, American Pattern, 175 mm VOREL 40018
American pattern side cutting pliers are a hand tool designed for precise cutting of wires, leads and cables. Model 40018 has a working length of 175 mm, offering a balance between cutting force and precision.
Technical characteristics of the side cutting pliers
American pattern construction
The American pattern uses a specific jaw geometry with shorter cutting edges set at approximately 60-70 degrees to the axis of the tool. This construction delivers greater cutting force with less effort from the hand, which translates into more efficient work when cutting harder materials. The jaws sit closer to the pivot, which increases the leverage.
175 mm working length
The 175 mm size is a versatile dimension for jobs that call for precision and adequate cutting force. This length allows free movement in confined spaces while still providing enough leverage to cut wire 2-3 mm in diameter. The tool fits standard tool belt pouches.
Hardened jaws
The hardening process raises the hardness of the cutting surface to around 58-62 HRC on the Rockwell scale. Hardened jaws stay sharp far longer than standard ones, which reduces how often the tool needs maintenance or replacement. The process also protects against chipping when cutting harder materials.
Ergonomic handles
Handles finished with a non-slip material provide a stable grip even during intensive work. The profiling, shaped to match the natural position of the hand, reduces muscle fatigue during repeated use. The handle insulation improves safety when working near electrical installations.

Use and maintenance
Correct use
Side cutting pliers should be used only to cut materials within their capacity. Never use the tool as a lever or a hammer. When cutting, the material should be positioned perpendicular to the jaws, in their middle section. Avoid cutting hardened steel wire, which can damage the cutting edges.
Tool maintenance
After use, clean the pliers of dirt and dry them. The joint requires periodic lubrication with a drop of machine oil. The cutting edges can be sharpened periodically with a fine-grit abrasive, keeping the original bevel angle. Store the tool in a dry place, protected against corrosion.
