Description
The Yato YT-6611 is a 180 mm side cutter designed for versatile cutting of cables, wires and other thin materials in universal use.
A key technical feature of the product is its jaws made of 50CrV chrome vanadium steel, which give the strength and durability needed in demanding mechanical use. The jaws have a blackened and polished finish, which protects against corrosion and improves the precision of the tool.
The pliers have two-component handles that combine hard PP (polypropylene) and soft TPR (thermoplastic rubber). This ergonomic Grip design gives a firm grip and reduces hand fatigue during long periods of work. The 180 mm length gives a good balance between handling and leverage.
The cutting edges of the product are hardened to a high hardness of 55–62 HRC. This hardness ensures that the cutters stay sharp for a long time even when cutting harder materials, without the edge deforming. The clean polished head allows precise work even in tight spots.
Intended use:
- Electrical installations: Excellent for cutting copper and aluminium conductors and cables in electrical installation work where a clean cut is required.
- Mechanical work: Can be used for neatly cutting thin metal wires, cable ties, plastic parts and other fixing materials when servicing machines and equipment.
- General use in the workshop: Works as a reliable, durable basic tool for a wide range of cutting needs that require a hardened edge and an ergonomic grip.

Yato side cutters 180 mm instructions for use:
Always check the condition of the tool before use; make sure the jaws are clean and the joint works freely without play. Place the material to be cut deep between the jaws, close to the joint, for maximum leverage and a clean cut. Squeeze the handles evenly and firmly. Clean the pliers carefully after use to remove metal swarf and dirt. Lubricate the joint regularly with light machine oil to keep it working and prevent corrosion.
Warnings:
Note the following warnings when using the product:
- Not insulated: Do not use the product on live electrical circuits; the handles give no protection against electric shock.
- Material limits: Do not cut materials harder than the hardened 50CrV steel is designed for (e.g. hardened steel wire or nails), so that the jaws are not damaged.
- Protective equipment: Always wear safety glasses when cutting springs or hard wires, which can fly off when cut.
- Correct use: Do not use the pliers as a hammer or a twisting tool, as this can cause the tool to break.
Frequently asked questions (FAQ):
Q: Can these cut steel wire?
A: Yes, soft and medium-hard steel wire, thanks to the 55–62 HRC hardness, but avoid very hard piano wire or hardened nails.
Q: Are the handles electrically insulated?
A: No. These are mechanical universal side cutters. Live work requires VDE-certified 1000V insulated pliers.
Q: What is the advantage of 50CrV steel?
A: 50CrV (chrome vanadium steel) offers an excellent balance of hardness, toughness and wear resistance, which extends the life of the tool in demanding use.
Recycling instructions:
The pliers are mainly metal. Sort as metal waste. In some recycling centres the plastic and rubber parts of the handles (PP/TPR) can be separated as combustible waste or energy waste if they can be removed from the metal part. The packaging cardboard is recycled in cardboard collection.
