Crescent 728CVN-05 Nipper Pliers 8 Inch Alloy Steel

Product Description

The CRESCENT 728CVN-05 is a standard nipper plier designed for cutting wire and small fasteners in electrical, HVAC, plumbing, and general trade work. Built from alloy steel with a polished finish, this 8-inch tool delivers a cutting edge length of 0.812 inches and is rated for standard cuts up to 12 AWG wire. The rawhide-colored handles provide a firm, comfortable grip during repeated cuts. At 0.85 pounds, the tool is lightweight enough for extended use without fatigue. This is a hand tool suited to licensed tradespeople and journeymen who need a reliable nipper in their daily kit.

The 728CVN-05 is appropriate for residential and light commercial applications where wire cutting and nipping tasks are routine. Electricians will find it well suited for cutting copper conductors up to 12 AWG during panel work, device installation, and conduit terminations. HVAC technicians and plumbers also rely on nippers for trimming low-voltage control wiring, sensor leads, and small gauge wire during equipment service or installation. The 8-inch overall length provides adequate leverage for clean, flush cuts in tight spaces.

Installation Notes

Always de-energize circuits and verify voltage is absent before cutting any wire or conductor. Nipper pliers are a hand tool requiring no power source, but safe work practice under NFPA 70E guidelines applies whenever working near live electrical equipment. Inspect the cutting edges before each use and do not use the tool on wire gauges heavier than its rated capacity, as this can damage the cutting edge or cause the handles to slip.
