Diagonal Cutters, commonly known as Dikes, are hand tools used for cutting wires, component leads, and small pins. They feature angled cutting edges that allow precise cuts close to surfaces, making them ideal for electronics and electrical work.
These tools are commonly used for cutting copper, aluminum, soft steel wires, and electronic component leads. Diagonal cutters are typically made from hardened steel and designed with ergonomic, insulated handles for comfort and safety during extended use.
Diagonal cutters are widely used in electronics assembly, electrical installations, automotive repair, and maintenance work. They are valued for their clean cutting action, durability, and ability to access tight or confined spaces.
