Alicate de corte lateral Wiha Z18020006SB ferramenta elétrica profissional, modelo Z18020006SB

Wiha Side Cutter Z18020006SB professional electric switching tool is a precision side-cutting plier engineered for electricians and technicians. Designed for tasks that require accurate trimming and cutting of wires and small components, this tool combines a compact form with hardened cutting edges to deliver reliable, clean cuts in workshop and on-site environments. The tool’s ergonomics and build quality support repetitive use during installation, maintenance and repair of electrical systems.

Advantages

The side-cutting geometry provides close-to-insulation cuts and reduces the need for additional stripping. Hardened cutting edges maintain sharpness over time and resist deformation when cutting soft and medium-hard conductors. The compact head and controlled leverage allow precise work in confined spaces without excessive hand fatigue. Metal components are corrosion-resistant and fitted into an insulated handle for safer handling during electric switching tasks.

Suitable for

• Cutting copper and aluminium wires up to the tool’s rated capacity
• Trimming component leads and cable ties in electrical assemblies
• On-site installations, panel wiring and maintenance work
• Precision work in confined spaces such as junction boxes and switchgear

Key specifications

• Tool type: side cutter (diagonal/side-cutting plier) designed for electrical switching tasks
• Cutting edge: hardened steel for durability and clean cuts
• Head design: compact side-cutting profile for close-to-insulation trimming
• Handle: ergonomically shaped, insulated grip for comfort and improved safety when working on electrical components
• Typical applications: wire cutting, lead trimming, cable tie cutting, and small component removal

How to use

Position the conductor or component between the cutting edges near the tool pivot for maximum leverage and a clean cut. Use a single, controlled squeeze to sever the wire; avoid twisting motions or cutting materials beyond the tool’s intended capacity. For insulated conductors, cut close to the insulation only if the tool is rated for such work and follow safe isolation procedures. After use, clean debris from the cutting edges and store the tool in a dry place to preserve edge life.

Recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment and ensure circuits are de-energised before performing electrical cutting or switching tasks. Do not use the tool on hardened steel, live conductors, or materials that exceed its cutting capability. Regularly inspect cutting edges for nicks and corrosion; reconditioning or replacement is recommended when cutting performance deteriorates.
