Need to cut electrical cable or steel wire? Which type of plier should you rely on?

Side cutting pliers go by many other names, including wire cutters, wire snips, lineman pliers, electrician's pliers and diagonal pliers. The heavy jaws and sheers set at a diagonal angle make these shears ideal for cutting through electrical wire and steel wire. Some heavier-duty models can cut through bolts and nails.
