FAQ 8 - Cutter & Plier Codification
How to Read Ideal-tek Cutters and Pliers Codification
Those letters and numbers aren’t random — they define every detail of an Ideal-tek tool.
Each character in our codification system describes a specific feature: the head geometry, dimension, cutting style or handle type.
Understanding how to read these codes helps you identify the right cutters or pliers for your application — whether you work in electronics, medical device manufacturing, or precision assembly.
In this FAQ, we explain the meaning behind each part of the code, giving you the knowledge to “read” your Ideal-tek tools like an expert and make confident choices across our range of precision hand tools.
