Dealing with fencing wire is hard work, but our combination of gripping and cutting fencing pliers makes your work easier.
Cut, grip, and bend even the hardest fencing wire with one tool.
Designed for farmers and groundsmen who demand the right tool for the job.
Our fence wire cutters are purpose-built to cut through high-tensile electric fence wire, which would blunt and break standard cutting tools. With Maun fencing pliers, you will make clean and accurate cuts every time.
The heavy-duty shear type wire cutters have been hardened to HRC 62-65 for durability, and the high-leverage design multiplies your hand force by 25x – making them easy to use over long periods.
The serrated gripping jaws improve your purchase when bending and manipulating fence wire.
The v-slot in one jaw, serrated gripping edges, and an open throat make these the perfect pliers for gripping wire.
Choose either zinc-plated handles for added grip, or soft plastic handles for added comfort.
These durable and versatile snips can also be used for garden maintenance and repair, construction, and a variety of other DIY tasks. They're easy-to-use, with strong steel blades that can handle wire cutting with minimum effort.

These wire cutters are made from treated steel allows that have been zinc and phosphate finished. This treated steel makes the cutting edges very durable, and capable of lasting a lifetime of fence installing. The zinc and phosphate finishes also help to prevent corrosion, perfect in the outdoors and rugged environments.
The cutting edges are machine-hardened to HRC 62-65 for increased durability. This ensures they can cut through very hard materials, including 2.5mm piano wire. The cutting edge is a variant of a diagonal cutting plier, allowing you to cut very close to a surface.
Our cutters are more than just cutting pliers, and have a number of benefits vs regular cutters:
Our cutting edges are hardened to HRC 62-65 to ensure they’re durable enough to withstand regular cutting of high tensile fencing wire (which is classed as “medium hard wire”).
These fencing pliers have been designed especially for working with wire fencing, including the following unique features:
The finishes applied to the pliers help to prevent corrosion and rusting. Over the lifetime of a product depending upon the level of use, the environment that the plier is used, and how the pliers are maintained and stored when not in use, in it is reasonable to expect that the finishes may eventually become worn and damaged.
These cutters can handle the majority of high tensile fencing wire with ease. In certain circumstances when working with very large diameter fencing, you may need multiple cuts to get a clean break, requiring the tool to be repositioned to the opposite side of the wire after the first cut.
The standard Fencing Pliers weigh 510g, and the comfort grips version weighs 560g.
These cutting pliers are appropriate for the following types of fencing:
They don’t just cut through wire, and can be used in all aspects of the livestock fencing project, including removing old nails/staples, tightening new wire, and twisting wire to secure it.
The edges of diagonal cutting forms are not “sharp”; therefore, it is not a case of keeping the tool sharp. Where possible the cut should always be as close to the back of the jaw as it can be.
The best way to maintain the Fencing Pliers is to ensure that the tool is stored in a cool, dry place, that the product is thoroughly dried if it becomes wet during use and cleaned with a wet cloth, and then thoroughly dried if it becomes dirty during use.
