CMHT81718 Diagonal Cutting Pliers, 8.2 In., Drop Forged Steel

Craftsman diagonal cutting pliers deliver powerful, efficient cutting performance for electricians, maintenance professionals, and DIY enthusiasts. The 8.2-inch pliers feature a compound action design that multiplies cutting force, allowing you to cut through wire, cable, and tough materials with less hand effort than standard pliers. These pliers are essential for electrical wiring work, cutting tasks, and detailed repair applications.

Built from drop forged steel with induction hardened cutting edges, these pliers are engineered for durability and long-term reliability. The multi-zone bi-material grip provides dedicated comfort zones that ensure a firm hold during extended use. The compound action mechanism is the key to their cutting advantage—it concentrates force at the cutting point, making tough jobs easier on your hands and wrists.
