Bahco Side Side cutter

Bahco Side cutter, 200mm Overall Length, 3.3mm Maximum Cutting Capacity - 21HDG-200

This side cutter is a hand tool designed for precision cutting tasks in electrical, electronics and mechanical settings. It provides a Compact cutting solution for removing wires and small components, combining a specialised jaw profile with ergonomically shaped hand surfaces to support repetitive use in workshop and field environments.

Features and Benefits:

• High alloy steel jaws deliver Durable cutting performance
  Side cutting action enables flush cuts on close-to-surface work
  3.3mm maximum cutting capacity handles common conductor sizes
  Thermoplastic grip reduces hand fatigue during extended use
  Polypropylene handles resist routine workshop wear

Applications

• Suitable for trimming component leads on PCBs
  Ideal for cutting small-diameter wires in electrical installations
  Used for fine cable work in automation systems
  Can be used for light mechanical trimming and fabrication

What is the reach of the tool for accessing confined spaces?

The overall length is 200mm which balances accessibility and leverage for confined operations.

How precise are the cutting edges for close work?

The jaw length measures 22.4mm, offering a short, controlled bite for accurate trims near surfaces.

What jaw profile supports tight-angle cuts?

The tool uses a side cutting configuration with a 27mm jaw width to facilitate angled access and chip clearance.

How does the grip material affect handling in repetitive tasks?

The thermoplastic grip provides a tactile surface that aids control and reduces slippage during repeated cycles.

Which handle construction contributes to general durability?

The handles are MADE from polypropylene, chosen for its resistance to routine workshop abrasion and solvents.
