Slim-Line Diagonal Cutters — 5 Inch, Black Grips, Beading & Hobby Wire Work
Slim diagonal cutters for light-gauge wire — trimming beading wire, snipping headpins flush against the work, tidying component leads. The diagonally ground jaws let you cut close against a surface, and the slim-line profile reaches into tight spots where a full-size cutter will not go. Match the cutter to the wire, though: our wire gauge guide explains what counts as light gauge.
Spring-loaded handles reopen the jaws between cuts, sparing your hand over a long stringing session, and the moulded plastic grips carry a textured surface for a sure hold. At 5 inches overall and lightweight with it, this is an honest, affordable cutter for soft wire on the hobbyist's bench.
- Slim, diagonally-ground jaws allow for flush cuts against a surface.
- Spring-loaded handles reduce hand fatigue during repetitive cutting tasks.
- Moulded plastic grips with a textured surface provide a secure hold.
- Compact 5-inch (125mm approx.) overall length for manoeuvrability in detailed work.
- Lightweight construction is ideal for extended use in beading and craft projects.
