I bought this to use with my crafts I make wreaths and use florals and pipe cleaners and things that require a wire cutting tool . I needed to buy my own because my husband no longer wanted to share lol.

It takes more than diagonal wire cutting pliers (side cutters) to replace the wire on a movable electrical box.
The diagonal wire cutting pliers were needed along with the wire stripper and the screw drivers and the needle nose pliers.
But the diagonal wire cutting pliers are good for other things too like cutting the zip ties off of new purchases so that the tags or packaging will come off.
These are a nice pair of diagonal wire cutting pliers even though the packaging says made in China.

A few years ago, I bought a cheap side cutter at a discount tool store for our winter home. I was surprised how much additional effort it took to cut wire with it. I ended up throwing that one away. It was more than twice the effort of my better tool. This side cutter behaves like my older high quality cutter, easily cutting through 12 gauge Romex cable.
The soft plastic grips feel good. I was surprised they have a label saying they are not insulated. I ran a resistance test on it, and it showed it to be completely isolated.
The one negative would be if you use pegboard hooks to hold these type of tools. The bulky handles won’t slip into the holder.

The 8 in. Diagonal Wire Cutting Pliers is a substantial pair pliers. It has anti-slip grips, short jaws for tight places, it even has a tether hook so it cannot be dropped! These are 8 in. so you can get a 'grip' on what every you cut. They are nice to hold in your hand, they don't have a feel is if they were cutting your hand instead on cutting the wire! The are very comfortable to grip.

8 in. Wire Cutting Pliers. Combination of short jaws and long handles give you good leverage when cutting. Also good for tight areas. Rubberized handles are comfortable and knurling gives you a better grip. Blades are sharp and can cut through plastic as well as metal. Has a built in tether hook for safety purposes or for hanging the tool on a pegboard. Nice looking.

The Commercial Electric 8" diagonal wire cutting pliers work well and by design, work especially well in confined space and are made with a solid and durable construction. It cuts through single wire and romex with relative ease. My glove size is an XL and believe someone with S-M hands would find this tool more challenging to use as I do not find the handles to be especially ergonomic -comparing them to the Klein similar tool. However, this tool is less expensive so if you have a tighter tool budget and do not have the need to use this tool often or continuously for long periods of time, I do recommend it as a second best choice.

Really heavy duty cutting pliers. Offers a firm grip, extremely solid construction and extreme ease when cutting. So far I have not had to use it for anything of significant thickness, but it has been useful for day to day things such as cutting wire to mend a fence, to cut the wires off of a planter, but it's clear this tool would handle bigger jobs quite easily.

Comfortable pliers cut heavy wire with ease! In our house these pliers will be used mostly by my wife when cutting stems on artificial flowers. They are almost always tough to cut and often I have had to use a hack saw. These pliers make cutting the very heavy wire stems a breeze so we are both happy, since she can work on arrangements without my help. The soft plastic handles are easy to grip. I wish the pliers had a larger hook suitable for hanging on pegboard hooks but the tether hook is too small for that.

The long grips provide great leverage for cutting most any size wire. Too many times I needed a heavier set of cutters, not just for cutting larger gauge wire, but to be able to get into tight places. This set cuts all the way to the tip and provides tremendous leverage with the 8” long handles. Whether cutting 14 gauge motor wire or 500 volt 12 gauge Romex, it did a great job. The rubber covered handles offer excellent grip and the little ‘notch’ at the end of the bottom handle provides a great little ‘limiter’ for your little finger when you return it to the open position. Keeping it on the top of my tool box.
