Bosch Home and Garden Diagonal Side Cutter - 160 mm

The cutting edges are induction hardened and made of durable carbon steel, achieving a hardness of 60 HRC for superior longevity and sharpness.

These cutters are designed for high-precision cutting of electrical wires and cables. They are not intended for very thick materials, hardened steel wire, or wire rope. Consult the product specifications for maximum cutting capacity.

The cutters feature a matte chrome-nickel-coated surface for high rust resistance. To maintain this, wipe them clean after use, dry them thoroughly, and store them in a dry environment. Occasional light oiling of the cutting surfaces and pivot will further enhance protection.

The large soft-grip surfaces provide a more comfortable and secure hold, reducing hand fatigue during prolonged use and offering better control over the cutting action.

The ergonomic design is generally ambidextrous, providing comfort and control for most users. However, individual comfort may vary.

Induction hardening creates a very hard cutting edge while maintaining a tougher core, resulting in exceptional sharpness, durability, and resistance to wear over time.

Ensure the cutters are clean and free of debris. If performance has degraded significantly, the hardened cutting edge may need professional assessment or replacement, though this is rare with proper care.

Check for any debris or build-up in the pivot joint. Clean the joint and apply a small amount of light machine oil. Ensure the jaws are properly aligned.

Wipe the affected area with a lightly oiled cloth to remove surface rust. Ensure the tool is dried thoroughly and stored in a dry place. Future maintenance should include periodic oiling.
