These diagonal-cutting pliers were designed for rebar work, and are popular with Ironworkers. The 13 degree angled head makes it easier to work in confined spaces while the hooked handle improves the grip and reduces slippage. The high-leverage design has 36-Percent more cutting power. A hot-riveted joint ensures smooth action and no wobble in the handle. This pair will be your go-to tool when working with soft annealed rebar tie wire.
