Where the cut has to sit decides the plier. An end cutting nipper cuts square to the work, so a projecting nail or tie is taken off flush with the surface. A diagonal cutter cuts at an angle, which reaches into a position but leaves a small stub behind. Reading where the cut has to sit is quicker than comparing capacity across the two types.
That is a positioning difference rather than a capacity one. Both cut the same wire; only one of them can take it off level with a face, which is why a workshop doing both kinds of work holds both rather than choosing between them. A workshop working on both fixings and cable ends up holding a cutter of each type rather than one.
High leverage designs multiply the hand force at the pivot, and Twinforce forms go further by adding a second pivot. That is what cuts heavy wire in a plier that can still be operated in one hand at a normal length. Both forms are held at lengths that suit one-handed use rather than needing two.
Cable work sits apart again. Electricians dismantling pliers at 160mm open a cable sheath without reaching the conductor beneath it, and cable shears cut a conductor cleanly rather than crushing it flat, which a general cutter does. Send the material and the position to 07754288583 on WhatsApp. Cable shears are also sized by conductor rather than by overall length. Insulation rating on the dismantling pliers is stated on the tool rather than in the description.
