Achieve precise, clean cuts on wire up to 12 gauge with these professional-grade side cutters, engineered for demanding jewellery bench tasks.

What it does

These 115mm side cutters deliver a clean semi-flush cut, essential for neat wire termination. The hardened stainless steel body provides a robust frame, while the integrated tungsten carbide jaw inserts maintain their sharpness significantly longer than conventional steel, ensuring consistent performance on both softer metals and harder wires. Box joint construction guarantees precise jaw alignment, eliminating wobble and promoting accurate cutting action.

How to use it

  • Position wire between the tungsten carbide jaws.
  • Close handles firmly for a clean cut.
  • Wipe clean and store dry after use.

Who it's for

An indispensable tool for UK bench jewellers, silversmiths, and professional wire-workers. Ideal for those needing a reliable, durable cutter that replaces imprecise snipping and provides a superior finish on 2.05mm wire, complementing your existing tool kit.

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.
