This video demonstrates the cutting capabilities of two different styles of NWS side cutting pliers: a traditional high-leverage model and a compound action model. While the requested context is electrical wire crimping, this video specifically showcases the cutting performance and ergonomic advantages of these cutting pliers, which are commonly used in various electrical and wiring applications for cutting wires and other materials. It highlights the difference in cutting force required between the two types of pliers when cutting a robust item like an 8-penny nail, emphasizing the efficiency of the compound action design.

So, traditional side cutting plier, high leverage, smooth jaw, Rockwell hardness of 80. Difference between this plier and this plier. This plier has a compound action cutter. So, you get 50% more hand force here. Gives you more leverage at the very end. Makes your product much easier to cut. To give you the idea of a reduction of hand force, standard eighth penny nail, take it, cut it. Typically can take two hands. >> All right. Now, compound action level cutter. >> Same nail. >> Woo. Much faster. Also, a shorter plier with more leverage versus a longer plier. 8 in overall length. 7in overall length. >> You can do with a 7in plier what you could have done with an eight.
