Heavy Duty Diagonal Side Wire Cutters, Hardened Carbon Steel Jaws. Made in Japan. ENGINEER nk-36

Good quality snips made in Japan by Engineer Tools. Very able and capable of cutting steel guages up to 4mm. They're a good size measuring just under 6" in length, they're made from grey tooled steel with frosted rubberized grips. The blades are precise and very sharp and the pivot tight and the jaws are very flush with no visible gap. The cutters on my Channelock Lineman pliers are just as able at making clean cuts, but these are a specific tool just for snipping cleanly and flushly.A little pricy for what they are but worth the extra if you use them for thier intended purpose frequently.

Great sharp tool.

These cutters are sharp, easy to handle and small enough to be used with fine wires. I bought them for jewellery making and they do the job well. The only problem I can find is that they are not retractable, I mean once you cut your wire you have to open them up again manually and that is a bit of a hassle when you are working with both hands, which is what I normally do. Apart of that, they are great cutters.

Very well made and robust side cutters. The cutting edges mate together perfectly, zero misalignment. Quality tools like these are a thing of beauty! Thank you Japan!UPDATE:After chopping several 1.0mm Ø hardened spring steel coils they still retained a perfect cutting edge. No damage whatsoever.

Quite good product good price

A brilliant tool

I have a set of these cutters previously about (5 years ago) & they have been used nearly everyday at work, I decided to purchase another pair for my portable toolbag as there that good. Long lasting & very durable, just be mindful of what your cutting (size of cable) I use these for electrical cable, telephone ☎️ data & alarm ⏰️ cable's.

After a bit of googling, I've decided to give these a try. To be honest, I knew they would be good because every Japanese made tool I've had exceeded expectations, but they're really, really good. Perfect alignment and they cut cable without effort. They look basic, but they do the job well, there's absolutely no play in the pivot point and the sharp blades meet perfectly with no light showing. Perfect. Let's just see how long they last
