Achieve precise wire cuts on the jewellery bench with these 120mm stainless steel side cutters, engineered for stable control.

What it does

These slim-line cutters deliver clean, flush cuts on fine wires thanks to their finely ground jaws. The square-profile handles offer a secure, non-slip grip, preventing rotation and ensuring consistent placement of the cutting edge. An integrated leaf spring facilitates a smooth, self-opening action, reducing user fatigue during repetitive tasks. The durable stainless steel construction with a satin finish provides reliable performance for detailed bench work.

How to use it

  • Position wire at the cutting jaws.
  • Apply firm, controlled pressure for a clean cut.
  • Wipe clean after use for longevity.

Who it's for

Ideal for UK bench jewellers, silversmiths, and optical technicians who require dependable cutting tools. This plier is suited for intermediate to professional users seeking a stable, all-metal option that offers tactile feedback and precision, replacing less controlled cutting methods.

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.
