Bypass Cutters for Memory Wire — Heavy Duty 120 mm Pliers for Jewellery & Hard Wires
Memory wire blunts ordinary side cutters in short order — this is the tool that takes the punishment instead. The bypass jaws shear the coils cleanly rather than pinching, and the hardened blades are rated for cut after cut on hard wire. At 120 mm it tucks into the hand yet still gives useful leverage.
The steel body wears a non-reflective black oxide finish, and the curved handles carry smooth red vinyl grips that stay comfortable through a long beading session. It will also see off other hard wires that model makers and electronics hobbyists meet, sparing your finer cutters for softer wire.
- Bypass-style cutting jaws shear cleanly through hard wire without pinching.
