Lindstrom 8160RX Large Micro Bevel Oval Head Side Cutters

Lindstrom 8160RX Large Micro Bevel Oval Head Side Cutters deliver professional-grade cutting performance in a thoughtfully engineered tool built for extended bench use. Part number 146.8160RX, these side cutters feature a jaw length of 16mm, a total length of 147mm, and a maximum cutting capacity of 2.0mm soft copper wire.

The 8160RX belongs to the Lindstrom RX Series and is fitted with Oval Jaws — rounded at the tip — distinguishing them from the Tapered Jaw variants, which are only slightly rounded at the tip. Choosing the right jaw profile ensures precise access and control in your specific application.

These cutters use a Micro Bevel cutting edge — a very slight bevel that significantly increases cutting strength and durability. The micro bevel design accommodates a wide cutting range and a variety of wire gauges and materials. Unlike flush cutters, the micro bevel leaves a slight peak on one side of the cut wire, which is an acceptable trade-off for the superior durability and broader cutting range these tools provide.

Features

• Oval Jaw profile — rounded tip for general-purpose side cutting access
• Micro Bevel cutting edge — slight bevel increases strength, durability, and cutting range over flush cutters
• Micro-Touch™ cushioned handles — advanced ergonomic design, longer and more comfortable than standard plier handles for extended use
• BioSpring® adjustable return spring — reduces spring tension during work to lessen fatigue and improve safety
• Adjustable spring tension — move the end of the spring to the desired opening in the handle to customize tension and opening width
• Removable and reversible spring — BioSpring® can be completely removed or easily reversed for left-handed use
• Wider, slightly rounded handle profile — promotes even pressure distribution and superior hand contact

Specifications

Notes

• Micro Bevel cutters will leave a slight peak on one side of the cut wire — this is a characteristic of the bevel edge design, not a defect.
• For a flush cut with no peak, a flush cutter would be required; however, micro bevel cutters offer superior durability and a wider cutting range.
• The BioSpring® return spring is adjustable, removable, and reversible for left-handed users.
