Side cutters

— side cutters are called nippers, which, when biting off, are located perpendicular to the workpiece (or at a different angle, if you need to “bite” obliquely). The cutting jaws in the side cutters are directed parallel to the handles. Side cutters are convenient because they can be used regardless of the length of the cut part — the tool is brought from the side, and the object does not rest against it
