Bahco Side Side cutter

Bahco Plier, 140mm Overall Length, 15.9mm Jaw Length - 21HDG-140

This plier is a Compact side-cutting tool designed for precision cutting tasks in professional settings. It combines a short jaw profile and a self-opening handle to support repetitive operations where controlled, flush cuts are required, and the construction is intended for users who need a Compact handheld cutter with defined cutting performance.

Features and Benefits:

• High-alloy steel jaw provides enhanced cutting-edge retention
  Side-cutting action enables flush cuts in confined spaces
  Self-opening dual-component handle reduces hand strain during repetitive use
  Thermoplastic surface on polypropylene grip improves slip resistance
  Maximum cutting capacity 2.3 mm allows neat sectioning of small conductors

Applications

• Suitable for electrical trimming in Compact assemblies
  Used for removing small cable ends and ties
  Ideal for maintenance tasks requiring precise flush cuts
  Can be used for delicate workshop wire preparation
  Used with small harness and connector work where access is limited

What is the jaw thickness and how does it affect cutting?

The jaw length measures 15.9 mm which concentrates bite force for precise engagement with small sections.

How does the handle design influence repetitive tasks?

The self-opening dual-component handle returns to the open position between cuts, enabling quicker cycle times and reducing finger fatigue.

What materials form the gripping surfaces and why are they chosen?

The grip combines a thermoplastic surface bonded to tough polypropylene to offer a firmer hold and abrasion resistance during use.

What cutting performance can be expected with thicker conductors?

The tool is rated to cleanly sever material up to 2.3mm in diameter, attempting larger sections will exceed its specified cutting capacity.
