Stanley 89-861 Angled Diagonal Cutting Plier 8 Inches

Product Description

The STANLEY 89-861 is an angled diagonal cutting plier designed for cutting wire, cable, and other materials in tight or hard-to-reach spaces. The angled head geometry gives technicians better sightlines and access when working in confined areas such as electrical panels, junction boxes, and control cabinets. At 8 inches in length and 0.71 pounds, the tool offers substantial cutting leverage without excessive bulk. Electricians, HVAC technicians, and plumbers reach for this style of plier when straight-jaw cutters cannot reach the work or when a cleaner flush cut is needed close to a terminal or connector.

The 89-861 suits residential and light commercial service work wherever wire cutting and trimming are routine. It is well-suited for electrical rough-in and finish work, low-voltage control wiring in HVAC systems, and plumbing fixture installations that involve cutting supply line tubing or stranded bonding wire. The angled cutting head positions the cutting edge at an offset angle, reducing wrist strain during repetitive cuts and allowing the user to see the cut point clearly without repositioning the workpiece.

Key Features

• Angled cutting head for improved access in confined or obstructed work areas
• 8-inch overall length provides added leverage for cutting heavier gauge wire
• Lightweight at 0.71 pounds for reduced fatigue during extended use
• Diagonal cutting geometry produces clean, flush cuts close to terminals and connectors
• Part of the STANLEY MAXSTEEL line, built for trade and professional service use

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose diagonal cutting plier suitable for electrical, HVAC low-voltage wiring, and plumbing applications requiring wire or cable trimming.

Installation Notes

Always de-energize circuits and verify with a meter before cutting or trimming any electrical conductors. Inspect cutting edges before use and do not use damaged or sprung pliers. This tool is intended for cutting wire, cable, and soft metal only — do not use on hardened steel fasteners or rods. Follow applicable NEC requirements when working on electrical systems.
