At 8 inches overall length, this tool delivers the leverage needed for cutting copper conductors, stranded wire, and similar materials in electrical and low-voltage work. The cutting edge measures 0.78 inches with a jaw capacity of 0.4 inches, and the polished finish resists corrosion in demanding work environments. Double-dip red handles with a 5-inch grip length reduce hand fatigue during extended use on the job site or in the panel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 5438CENN is suited for residential and commercial electrical work, panel wiring, low-voltage installations, and general wire termination tasks. It is commonly used by licensed electricians, HVAC technicians running control wiring, and instrumentation tradespeople who require a flush cut to avoid wire stub protrusion at terminals or connectors. The compact jaw profile allows access in tight wiring enclosures and junction boxes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFlush cut capability rated for wire up to 12 AWG\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e0.78-inch cutting edge length for precise wire cuts\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e0.4-inch jaw capacity accommodates a range of conductor sizes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePolished finish for corrosion resistance in field conditions\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDouble-dip handle material with 5-inch grip length for comfort and control\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e8-inch overall length provides balanced leverage without excess bulk\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard-service diagonal cutting plier for general electrical, HVAC control wiring, and low-voltage applications requiring flush cuts on conductors 12 AWG and smaller.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDe-energize all circuits and verify absence of voltage before cutting any conductor. Use in accordance with applicable NEC requirements for the circuit type being serviced. Flush-cut pliers are designed for wire cutting only and should not be used to grip, bend, or pull conductors, as this can damage the cutting edge. Inspect the cutting edges for nicks or misalignment before each use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Edge Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.78 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCut Capacity\u003c\/strong\u003e: Flush \/ 12 AWG\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eJaw Capacity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Double Dip\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle Color\u003c\/strong\u003e: Red\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Polished\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.1 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.7 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.7 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: APEX\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5438CENN\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"APEX","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51345406918962,"sku":"5438CENN","price":42.81,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/310471903.jpg?v=1782057373","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/apex-5438cenn-diagonal-cutting-pliers-8-inch-flush-cut","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
