Ultra-grip pliers have grips made of hard and soft materials for comfort and slip resistance. They’re shaped to fit comfortably in your hand and reduce strain in repetitive tasks.

Wire Cutters
Also known as diagonal-cutting pliers.
A tapered head fits more easily in tight spaces but is less durable than an oval head.
Cut profile refers to the amount of pinch left on the tip of the wire after it has been cut. Semiflush cutters are the most widely used for electronics assembly and produce a slightly pointed, pinched end. They are generally more accurate than pointed-cut tools.
Spring-assisted jaws open automatically when you release the handles.
