Bahco 6-inch (160mm) Control Grip Side Cutters for Plastic, 170g

The Bahco 6-inch (160mm) Control Grip Side Cutters are engineered for clean and precise cutting of plastic components, making them an essential tool for professional workshops and industrial assembly lines. Developed using the scientific ERGO™ process, they deliver an optimal balance of comfort, control, and cutting efficiency within a compact 160mm design.

Featuring full flush cutting edges, these side cutters produce smooth, accurate cuts without bevelling, which is critical for delicate tasks in electronics assembly, model making, and plastic trimming. The induction-hardened cutting edges, crafted from high-performance alloy steel, ensure exceptional sharpness and durability, while the phosphate anti-corrosion finish provides long-term protection against rust and wear.

A key ergonomic feature is the patented return spring with an on/off function. This innovative design significantly reduces hand fatigue during repetitive cutting tasks, boosting productivity and user comfort over extended periods. The two-component thermoplastic handle offers a secure, comfortable grip, enhancing control and reducing slippage.
