Diameter Cutting Plier, Ergo, 5-1/2 - Bahco

The Bahco 2101G-140 Ergo Diameter Cutting Plier is a professional-grade 5-1/2" side cutter designed for precise and repetitive cutting tasks in demanding automotive and industrial settings. This tool integrates Bahco’s ergonomic design principles with high-performance alloy steel construction, delivering clean cuts across various materials while minimizing hand fatigue during extended use. Its compact size and round jaws are engineered for optimal access and maneuverability in confined spaces.

Key Features

• ERGO™ Handle Design: Two-component handles, featuring a thermoplastic surface over durable polypropylene, provide a secure, comfortable, and non-slip grip, reducing hand strain during prolonged cutting tasks.
• Progressive Cutting Edges: Induction-hardened (62 HRC) cutting edges utilize a progressive profile, allowing for efficient cutting of hard materials like piano wire close to the joint and softer insulated wires at the tips.
• High Leverage, Compact Size: An optimized pivot point delivers enhanced cutting power within a 140 mm plier, enabling effective cuts on tough materials without requiring excessive force.
• Confined Space Accessibility: The round-shaped jaws and short body improve reach and maneuverability, making this tool ideal for tight areas such as under-dash wiring, crowded junction boxes, and industrial enclosures.
• Durable Construction: Manufactured from high-performance alloy steel with a black anti-corrosion finish, ensuring long-term durability and reliable service life in professional shop and field conditions.
• ON/OFF Return Spring: A patented return spring facilitates repetitive cutting tasks by automatically opening the jaws, and can be easily disengaged for safe storage or when not required.
