Stanley 89-861 Fatmax Diagonal Cutting Plier

Product Description

The STANLEY 89-861 is a diagonal cutting plier designed for cutting wire, cable, and similar materials in electrical, mechanical, and general trade applications. Built with an oval head profile and a 1-inch jaw length, this plier delivers precise cutting action in tight spaces where standard pliers cannot reach easily. Weighing 0.71 pounds, it is light enough for extended use without fatigue. The standard cutter style suits a wide range of wire gauges and soft materials. This tool is intended for installation and service technicians who need a reliable, compact diagonal cutter on the job.

The STANLEY 89-861 is suited for residential and light commercial electrical work, HVAC wiring tasks, plumbing rough-in work involving tie wire or soft tubing, and general mechanical service. Its compact oval-head design makes it useful in panel boxes, junction boxes, and equipment cabinets where clearance is limited. The tool is non-insulated, so it is appropriate for work on de-energized circuits or non-electrical cutting tasks. Electricians, HVAC technicians, and service mechanics commonly carry this style of plier as part of a standard tool kit.

Installation Notes

This tool is non-insulated and must not be used on or near energized conductors without appropriate personal protective equipment and lockout/tagout procedures in place. Always de-energize and verify circuits are dead before cutting any wire or cable. NEC guidelines and applicable local codes govern electrical work performed with hand tools of this type. Inspect cutting edges before each use and replace if jaws are chipped or misaligned.
