Side cutters built for production runs — the shaped handles carry finger scallops that spread grip pressure, so the hundredth cut of the day lands as cleanly as the first. The jaws are angled for close cuts against the work, which suits trimming wire wraps, findings and component leads tight to the piece.

Construction is polished stainless steel throughout: a box joint that holds the cutting edges in alignment, a double-leaf spring that reopens the handles between cuts, and all-metal handles that wipe clean and never shed a cushion grip. Makers who prefer the direct feel and durability of bare metal over padded grips will be at home with them. Overall length is 5.5" (140mm).

  • Shaped stainless steel handles with finger scallops to reduce localised pressure.
  • Side-cutting jaws are angled for making close, clean cuts to your work.
  • Polished, all-metal construction for durability and easy cleaning.
  • Box-joint design maintains jaw alignment for reliable, consistent cutting.
  • Double-leaf spring provides a responsive, self-opening action for repetitive tasks.

Who it's for

An essential bench tool for UK production jewellers, wire-wrapping artists, and electronics hobbyists who cut soft wire repeatedly. They are favoured by makers who prefer the direct feel and durability of all-metal handles over cushioned grips.

Common questions at the bench

What can these cut?
Check this product's description and stay within any material or size it gives. Cutting harder or thicker material than a cutter is made for, such as steel or memory wire in a cutter not made for it, is the quickest way to chip or dent the cutting edges.
How do I get a clean cut?
Hold the work steady, keep the tool square to it and cut in one firm, steady movement. Do not twist, rock or lever the tool during the cut; that is what chips and dents cutting edges.
Will the cut end need finishing?
It depends on the cutter and the material. If this product's description says what kind of cut it gives, such as flush or semi-flush, that is what to expect. Either way, check each cut end or edge, and file or smooth any that is sharp, ridged or burred if it will touch skin or show on the finished piece.
How do I keep the cutting edges sharp?
Use the cutter only on the materials it is made for, never as pliers or a lever, and keep the edges from knocking against other tools. Wipe it clean and store it dry. Once the edges are chipped or dented they crush rather than cut cleanly.
