Ideal 35-036 Long Nose Plier Side Cutter 6 Inch

Product Description

The IDEAL 35-036 is a long nose plier with an integrated side cutter, built for electricians and trade professionals who need precise gripping and cutting in confined spaces. The narrow profile head fits into tight panels, junction boxes, and conduit runs where standard pliers cannot reach. Laser-hardened blades handle hardened wire, bolts, and stainless steel wire without dulling. The serrated straight jaws provide a firm grip on wire, fittings, and small fasteners. Overall length is 6 inches with a 2-inch jaw length. The carbon steel construction keeps the tool rigid under load. Heavy textured plastic grips reduce hand fatigue during extended use.

The 35-036 is suited for residential and commercial electrical work, panel wiring, low-voltage control wiring, and general trade use. The side cutter function eliminates the need to switch tools when trimming wire leads or cutting through bolts. The narrow head is especially useful in crowded electrical panels, motor control centers, and tight mechanical rooms where full-size diagonal cutters cannot maneuver. Electricians, HVAC technicians, and plumbers working with wire and small fasteners will find this plier practical for daily service calls.
