Clean Cuts for Every Trade: Marksman 160mm Professional Side Cutters
The Marksman 6″ Side Cutting Pliers are a specialist hardware tool designed for accuracy and durability. At ECO Heat Shop, we prioritise tools that facilitate the sustainable maintenance of complex systems. When working with electrical circuits, cable management, or mechanical assemblies, a clean “nipped” cut is vital to prevent short circuits or snagged components; these 160mm cutters provide the precise shearing action required by modern UK tradespeople.
Forged from high-grade tool steel, these diagonal nippers feature a compact head design that allows for flush cutting in restricted spaces, such as consumer units, junction boxes, or crowded engine bays. The combination of industrial-grade hardness and a high-leverage pivot ensures that even tougher tasks—like trimming cable ties or thin nails—are completed with minimal manual effort.
Key Features & Professional Benefits
- High-Frequency Hardened Blades: The cutting edges undergo a specialist heat-treatment process to achieve superior hardness, making them suitable for repetitive daily use on soft and medium-hard wires.
- Tapered Head Geometry: The slim profile is specifically designed to reach into tight corners where standard combination pliers cannot operate.
- Comfort-Focused Handles: The dual-material TPR grips provide an excellent tactile feel, dampening vibration and preventing the “blistering” often caused by traditional vinyl-dipped handles.
- Corrosion-Resistant Finish: Precision-polished jaws are treated to resist rust and oxidation, a necessary feature for tools stored in UK vans or unheated workshops.
- Multi-Industry Versatility: An indispensable tool for electrical stripping, automotive wiring, jewellery making, and general household maintenance.

Expert Tip: To extend the life of your side cutters, always place the wire as deep into the jaws (near the pivot) as possible to maximise leverage. Avoid using these pliers on hardened steel screws or masonry nails, as this can chip the induction-hardened blades. For electrical work, ensure the circuit is fully isolated before cutting, as these are non-insulated grips.
