C.KT3883 Ecotronic ESD Micro Side Cutters

I've been really impressed with these cutters. I own a set of Lindstrom RX cutters and pliers which were many times the cost of these, and whilst the handles on the CK are not quite as comfortable as the lindstrom, the lindstrom have plastic springs which are forever popping out.As a result, I tend to find myself grabbing these CK cutters for most jobs, and the fact that they good value price wise means I don't have to be too precious about what I use them for.I've had them over a year now, and they are standing up well to daily use.

Ordered one, out of the package the spring didn't work right as it wouldn't spring the pliers back to position. Returned and got a replacement. At first, it was ok, yet somehting was off, it didn't feel strong enough as I am used to ( I have used this exact same pliers but bought from a different supplier) and after a couple of weeks, three at most, it started losing the springiness and became useless. Avoid!!!

Very good side cutters. Do not try to cut anything except small diameter wires. If you do cut something else even plastic cable ties, they break. I found out the hard way. And by the way, I have seen reviews that after a wile the blades do not align, that happens because of improper use. These cutters are for cutting fine copper wire.

Had 2 sets of these now and they’re perfect to use to terminating. This particular one is the cheapest I’ve found so great all around

Got these for removing model components from their spru. They are really good, cut through the plastic really easily, just have to be careful not to push too hard when the blades are together as this could damage them
