Designed specifically for professional electricians and tradespeople, the Bahco ERGO 160mm Heavy Duty Side Cutting Pliers offer unmatched leverage and comfort for demanding, repetitive cutting tasks. These pliers integrate a scientific ERGO design that reduces hand fatigue, making them an essential tool for high-intensity work environments. While these pliers excel in durability and grip, users should note that the 160mm length is optimized for precision work rather than heavy-gauge industrial cabling where a larger tool might be required.

No, these are standard heavy-duty side cutting pliers and are not rated for live electrical work.
No, these are designed for wire and cable cutting. Cutting hardened steel will damage the cutting edges.
These pliers weigh approximately 0.31 pounds.
The mechanism is integrated into the design; attempting to remove it may compromise the tool's performance.
Wipe the pliers with a clean, dry cloth after use and store them in a toolbox away from harsh chemicals.
Clean the hinge area of debris and apply a small amount of light machine oil to the pivot point.
Inspect for nicks caused by cutting improper materials. Ensure you are only cutting materials within the tool's specified range.
The dual-component handle is fixed; if it feels loose, check for chemical damage from solvents that might have compromised the thermoplastic material.
No specialized setup is required; the tool is ready for use out of the box. For optimal performance, keep the pivot point clean of metal shavings and debris. Occasionally applying a drop of light machine oil to the hinge will ensure the self-opening mechanism continues to function smoothly. Store the pliers in a dry environment to maintain the integrity of the chrome finish. While the pliers are compatible with most standard wire types, they are not intended for cutting hardened steel or music wire, as this can damage the precision-ground cutting edges.
