    • Diagonal cutters, often called side cutters or wire cutters, have angled cutting edges that allow for precise cutting of wires and small materials.
    • They are commonly used in electrical work for cutting and stripping wires.

  2. Needle-Nose Pliers with Cutter:

    • Needle-nose pliers typically have long, pointed jaws that can reach tight spaces, and some models also feature a built-in cutter near the pivot point.
    • These pliers are versatile and can be used for gripping, bending, and cutting.

  3. Cable Cutters:

    • Cable cutters are designed to cut through thick cables, wires, and metal ropes.
    • They come in various sizes and styles, including manual hand-operated models and hydraulic or ratchet-powered versions for heavy-duty applications.

  4. Bolt Cutters:

    • Bolt cutters are heavy-duty cutters with long handles and powerful jaws designed to cut through thick metal rods, bolts, chains, and padlocks.
    • They are commonly used in construction and security applications.

  5. Tube Cutters:

    • Tube cutters are used for cutting through pipes and tubing made of materials like copper, PVC, and stainless steel.
    • They feature a cutting wheel that rotates around the pipe to create a clean, even cut.

  6. Pipe Cutters:

    • They come in various styles, including manual cutters and ratcheting models.

  7. Ratchet Cable Cutters:

    • Ratchet cable cutters are designed for cutting large electrical cables and wires.
    • They feature a ratcheting mechanism that allows for easier cutting of thick cables with minimal effort.

  8. Glass Cutters:

    • Glass cutters are used to score and cut glass sheets or panes for various applications, including window installation and glass crafts.
    • They typically have a small cutting wheel attached to a handle.

  9. Utility Knives:

    • Utility knives, while primarily used for cutting, also fall into the category of cutters.
    • They are versatile tools for a wide range of cutting tasks, from opening boxes to trimming materials.

  10. Wire Strippers:

    • Wire strippers, although primarily used for stripping insulation from wires, often include cutting edges for snipping wires to length.
    • They are essential tools for electrical work.

When using cutters, it's important to follow safety precautions, wear appropriate personal protective equipment, and choose the right cutter for the specific material and task at hand. Proper maintenance, such as keeping cutting edges sharp and lubricated, can extend the life of these tools and ensure efficient cutting.
