Sprue & Thick Wire Cutting — Heavy Duty Compound Diagonal End Cutters, 255 mm

Made for the casting bench: nipping sprues and gates from fresh castings, and shearing heavy-gauge non-ferrous wire and rod that standard diagonal cutters simply refuse. The compound lever linkage multiplies hand pressure, so thick sections part cleanly with modest effort — a difference you feel across a full tray of castings.

Steel jaws carry the diagonal cutting edges, set in a heavy-duty, black-finished head running on multiple steel pivot points. At 255 mm overall, the handles give generous leverage and control, and the low-effort action keeps hand fatigue down during repetitive cutting. Keep them to non-ferrous metals and the edges will stay keen.

• Compound lever design significantly multiplies cutting force from hand pressure.
• Robust steel jaws with diagonal cutting edges for shearing thick material.
• Overall length of 255mm provides excellent leverage and control.
• Heavy-duty build with a black-finished head and multiple steel pivot points.
• Engineered specifically for cutting non-ferrous casting sprues and gates.

Who it's for

An essential tool for UK jewellery casting studios, silversmiths, and any workshop regularly cutting thick-gauge non-ferrous wire or rod. The compound action makes them ideal for repetitive cutting tasks, reducing hand fatigue whilst improving the quality of the cut.
