Description
The Yato YT-2081 is a compact 115 mm mini side cutter developed especially for tasks that require precision and for cutting thin wires in tight spaces.
The jaws of the tool are made of carbon steel, which guarantees sufficient strength and sharpness of the cutting edges when working with thin and medium-hard materials. The jaws and head of the tool have a nickel-plated and polished finish, which gives a smooth surface, improves resistance to mechanical stress and protects against corrosion in different working environments.
Handling and control are optimised by two-component handles. Hard PP (polypropylene) and flexible TPR (thermoplastic rubber) materials combine into an ergonomic grip that reduces strain on the fingers in precise, repetitive cutting tasks. The small 115 mm size of the tool makes it a very agile instrument for component-level work.
Intended use:
- Electronics and precision mechanics: Thanks to its small size and precise jaws, ideal for cutting thin conductors, component leads and jumper wires on circuit boards and in cramped equipment enclosures.
- Mechanical installation work: For neatly cutting small cable ties, thin plastic parts and other light fixing materials.
- General precision work: Suitable for tasks where normal-size side cutters are too big or clumsy to use.

Yato side cutters 115 mm instructions for use:
Always check the condition of the cutters before use; the cutting edges should meet evenly. Place the wire or conductor to be cut as deep between the jaws as possible to optimise cutting force and minimise stress on the joint. Squeeze the handles evenly. As this is a carbon steel mini cutter, do not try to cut thick or hardened steel wires, as the cutting edges can be damaged. Clean the tool regularly and add a drop of thin machine oil to the joint to guarantee smooth operation.
Warnings:
Note the following warnings when using the product:
- Not electrically insulated: The tool gives no protection against electric shock. Never use it on live electrical circuits.
- Exceeding capacity: Do not use these 115 mm mini cutters to cut thick or hard metal wire; the blades or joint can break.
- Flying fragments: Wear safety glasses in installation work where the cut ends of conductors or metal wires can fly off with force.
Frequently asked questions (FAQ):
Q: Are these cutters suitable for cutting the leads of electronic components?
A: Yes, the 115 mm length and tapered head make them excellent for precise cutting work on circuit boards in particular.
Q: Are the handles protected against electric shock?
A: No. The TPR/PP handles are designed only for ergonomics and have no VDE certification for live work.
Q: What is the advantage of the nickel-plated surface?
A: The nickel plating gives the carbon steel better protection against corrosion and oxidation, extending the life of the tool.
Recycling instructions:
When the tool is taken out of use, the metal parts (carbon steel body) should be sorted for metal collection. The plastic and rubber components of the handles (PP and TPR) are sorted as energy waste or combustible waste if they can be removed from the metal. Packaging materials go to cardboard or plastic collection depending on the material.
