Article Summary

With the right tools and cutting technique, you can cut any wire. Use diagonal cutting pliers to cut any kind of wire. If you have a choice of tools, use lineman’s pliers to cut or splice electrical wire, and long-nose pliers for small-gauged wire. If you’re cutting live wire, make sure the electricity’s off so you don’t electrocute yourself. Whichever wire you’re cutting, make a straight cut, directly across the wire with your cutters. Squeeze the handles gently so the end of the wire doesn’t fly into the air and hit you. If the wire doesn’t cut through in one go, just open the pliers and try again. For more tips, including how to keep your pliers clean and sharp, read on!
