Crescent Z5428CGR-06 Diagonal Cutting Pliers Awg 7 Z2

Product Description

The CRESCENT Z5428CGR-06 is a diagonal cutting plier from the Z2 series, built for electrical and general trade work requiring clean, controlled wire cuts. The cutting edge measures 0.75 inches with a knife-to-knife grind that delivers flush cuts on conductors up to AWG 7. The plier body has a polished finish and features a straight-handle profile with a dual-material rawhide-colored grip that cushions hand fatigue during extended use. Overall dimensions are 8 inches in length, 2.1 inches in width, and 0.75 inches in height, with a total weight of 0.7 pounds. Electricians and low-voltage technicians reach for this tool during panel work, conduit runs, and fixture installations where a precise cut is required.

The Z5428CGR-06 is suited for residential and light commercial electrical work. Its knife-knife cutting geometry makes it effective for cutting copper and aluminum wire at or near AWG 7 capacity. The 5.2-inch handle length provides adequate leverage for cutting tasks without creating excessive grip spread. The dual-material handle reduces vibration transfer and improves grip in both dry and lightly soiled conditions, which are common on active job sites.

Key Features

• Knife-to-knife cutting edge for clean, flush cuts up to AWG 7
• 0.75-inch cutting edge length for targeted precision cuts
• Dual-material straight handle with rawhide coloring for grip comfort
• 5.2-inch handle length for controlled leverage
• Polished finish resists surface corrosion in typical field conditions
• Compact 0.7-pound weight reduces hand fatigue during repetitive cutting tasks

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose diagonal cutting plier suitable for electrical wire, cable, and similar conductors up to AWG 7 capacity in trade and industrial applications.

Installation Notes

Diagonal cutting pliers are typically used by licensed electricians and low-voltage technicians. Always de-energize and lockout-tagout any circuit before cutting conductors, in accordance with NFPA 70E safe work practices. Inspect the cutting edges before use and avoid cutting materials that exceed the rated AWG capacity, as overloading the jaws can damage the cutting edge or cause the tool to slip.
