## Description

Professional grade compact side cutters / snips manufactured by a long established and highly regarded Japanese precision hand tool company. These cutters have delightful ESD safe comfort grip handles and razor sharp, precise hardened carbon steel jaws. These cutters have sprung handles & a jaw angle opening adjuster (which sets the maximum opening jaw gap when the handles are released), perfect for repetitive cutting work). The manufacturer refer to these as micro nippers, but at 125mm long, they are only marginally smaller than most PCB side cutters.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: what are the min and max diameter wire it cuts?**
A: this is a precision instrument not for general use. I use it for copper wires, but not thicker than 1mm (17-18AWG)

**Q: what is the cutting capacity for brass, stainless, and music wire?**
A: Copper wire only or similar.

**Q: can these be used to cut came lead?**
A: I wouldn't use these for that. You could probably use these if you tried hard enough, but you probably want a pair of snips that are larger than these. These snips are more for cutting small wires.

**Q: Will these cut steel jewelry wire?**
A: These are not mini bolt cutters.  They are wire cutters.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Ottimo prodotto
*by S***A on 1 April 2025*

Utensile di ottima fattura, resistente ed efficace

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 良く切れて安価で使いやすいです。
*by 雑***人 on 24 December 2025*

パソコン内のケーブルタイなどを切るのに使っています。 小回りが利くサイズで、刃も垂直なのできちんと処理出来ます。 切れ味も良く、開き具合の調整も可能でグリップもしっかりしているので、 良いニッパーだと思います。

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Coupe très précise à ras
*by F***T on 11 May 2019*

Petite pince coupante de très grande qualité. Usinage super précis: pas de filet de lumière qd vous refermez la pince sans appuyer. Le point principal intéressant par rapport à d'autres marques de qualité c'est que la coupe est vraiment à ras. Il n'y a pas de petit chanfrein côté extérieur. Un autre point que je trouve agréable ce sont les branches assez minces avec leur revêtement. Je recommande !
