<p><b>Diagonal pliers</b> (also known as <b>wire cutters</b> or <b>diagonal cutting pliers</b>, or under many regional names) are <a href="Pliers" title="Pliers">pliers</a> intended for the <a href="Cutting" title="Cutting">cutting</a> of <a href="Wire" title="Wire">wire</a> or small stock, rather than grabbing or turning. The plane defined by the cutting edges of the jaws intersects the joint rivet at an angle or "on a diagonal", giving pliers their name.

</p><p>They are also adapted for use in inaccessible places.<sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

</p>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Action">Action</h2></div>

<p>Instead of using a shearing action as with <a href="Scissors" title="Scissors">scissors</a>, diagonal pliers cut by indenting and wedging the wire apart. The jaw edges are ground to a symmetrical "<a href="V" title="V">V</a>" shape, thus the two jaws can be visualized to form the letter "<a href="X" title="X">X</a>", as seen end-on when closed. The blades are made of <a href="Tempered_steel" class="mw-redirect" title="Tempered steel">tempered steel</a>, and <a href="Inductive_heating" class="mw-redirect" title="Inductive heating">inductive heating</a> and <a href="Quenching" title="Quenching">quenching</a> are often used to harden the jaws.

</p>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Jargon">Jargon</h2></div>

<p>In <a href="UK_English" class="mw-redirect" title="UK English">UK English</a> and <a href="Irish_English" class="mw-redirect" title="Irish English">Irish English</a>, diagonal pliers are commonly referred to as <b>snips</b>, <b>nippers</b> or <b>side cutters</b>. The term <b>snips</b> commonly refers to larger items, not to those used for cutting electrical wiring etc. In Canada, Australia and New Zealand too, the items are often referred to as <b>side cutters</b>.

</p><p><b>Diags</b>, <b>dykes</b> or <b>dikes</b> is <a href="Jargon" title="Jargon">jargon</a> used especially in the US <a href="Electrical_industry" class="mw-redirect" title="Electrical industry">electrical industry</a> to describe diagonal pliers. "Dike" can also be used (but only colloquially) as a verb, as in the phrase "when in doubt, dike it out". This slang has fallen out of favor due to its association with usage as a slur to harass <a href="Lesbians" class="mw-redirect" title="Lesbians">lesbians</a>, but will still be used occasionally despite the negative connotation.

</p>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Insulation">Insulation</h2></div>

<p>The <a href="Handle_(grip)" class="mw-redirect" title="Handle (grip)">handles</a> of diagonal cutting pliers are commonly insulated with a <a href="Dip-coating" title="Dip-coating">dip-type</a> or <a href="Shrink_fit" class="mw-redirect" title="Shrink fit">shrink fit</a> <a href="Insulator_(electrical)" class="mw-redirect" title="Insulator (electrical)">electrically insulating material</a> for comfort and some protection against electric shock.

</p>

<p>Diagonal pliers are useful for cutting <a href="Copper" title="Copper">copper</a>, <a href="Brass" title="Brass">brass</a>, <a href="Iron" title="Iron">iron</a>, <a href="Aluminium" title="Aluminium">aluminium</a> and <a href="Steel" title="Steel">steel</a> wire. Lower quality versions are generally not suitable for cutting tempered steel, such as <a href="Piano_wire" title="Piano wire">piano wire</a>, as the jaws are not hard enough. Attempting to cut such material will usually cause indentations to be made in the jaws, or a piece to break out of one or both jaws, thus ruining the tool. However higher quality side cutters can cut hardened steel, such as 2 mm piano wire.

<p>For electronics work, special diagonal cutters that are ground flush to the <a href="Apex_(geometry)" title="Apex (geometry)">apex</a> of the cutting edge on one side of the jaws are often used. These flush-cutting pliers allow wires to be trimmed flush or nearly flush to a solder joint, avoiding the sharp tip left by symmetrical diagonal cutters. It is common for this type of diagonal cutter to be referred to by another name, such as <i>flush cutter</i> to distinguish it from symmetrical cutters.

</p><p>For easier cutting of larger gauge wire, a compound action can be employed to increase the mechanical advantage.

</p><p>Some <a href="Linesman's_pliers" class="mw-redirect" title="Linesman's pliers">pliers for electrical work</a> are fitted with wire-cutter blades either built into the jaws or on the handles just below the pivot.

</p><p>Other variations are made to create high leverage specifically to cut through hard wire, such as electrical fence wire, dental wire, and piano wire.
