6 Inches Wire Cutters

This was another "bought on other customers' word" purchase, and I'm happy to say my fellow reviewers here steered me right again! I run two 3D printers as a tinkerer and hobbyist, so I handle 3D printer filament often. For a few reasons I won't elaborate on here, since I'll carry off on tangents, I do need to snip a piece of filament regularly. I bought a set of Stanley pliers, and I've had to heavily sharpen the jaws of the diagonal cutters that were in the set to make them of much use, but I use those for electronic wire clipping. I bought another set of pliers from Harbor Freight tools, and I got what I paid for..... The cutting edges were WAY out of alignment, to the point they're nearly unusable as cutters. But to my sudden surprise, I discovered they work really well for removing melted filament off my printer's nozzles!! So I didn't take them back to the store. But I wanted some SHARP cutters to cleanly cut, not crush, my 3D printer filaments. Again, I bought these based on reviews, and these work fantastically for my purpose! These pliers are startlingly sharp! I've been using them constantly in the few weeks I've had them and have always been impressed. While I haven't used these to cut any harder materials (like small bolts or screws) I do agree with other reviewers that doing so would wear these pliers out really quickly. The jaws on these pliers are literally sharpened like scissor blades, so they shear material like scissors do, rather than crush-shear materials like diagonal cutting pliers usually do. If you're needing a good set of diagonal cutting pliers to cut hard material, these may not be for you. But if you need really sharp pliers to cut softer materials, these are worth checking out!

These wire cutters have met all my cutting needs at the moment. Some of complained that they are not capable of cutting super hard wire and that may be the case; if you need professional grade wire cutters ,you're going to have to pay more money for them. For the average user who cuts nothing harder than maybe a coat hanger now and then these will do the trick for you. Just keep in mind if you cut anything really hard you may damage the cutting surface. They cut very close and are good flush cutting pliers. If something happened to these, I would buy another pair since they are inexpensive.

Simple, but effective for cutting wire. Ain’t built cheap either

Good heavy duty cutters with fine tip for precise cutting but that fine tip is also the problem. In the way that I use these cutters I’m cutting wire at the very tip of the cutters because of the space limitations. I’m using them on. After just a couple weeks, those tips have now become slightly misaligned so that they now no longer cut as easily as when the cutters were new. I am able to continue to use them, but just not quite as easy as when I first got them. If and when I need new cutters, I will likely try a different set, but these are good for now and I don’t intend to return them, because in reality, not sure that I would find any better.

Works great and sharp. For the price well worth it.

I’ve never been one to use the standard welding cutters for MiG welding as I’ve never liked them for cutting MiG wire however I do take advantage of the other uses that they are made for. I use a standard set of wire cutters/ dikes for cutting the wire as I’ve found them to preform better especially with the longer handles. Thus the reason for the purchase. Arrived on time and without delay in good condition. Thank you

They work, but these look used. The blades show signs of wear.

Works very well to cut thin wire

I am an electrician and do alot of fine detail work. For the cost these are very hard to beat. The five pack is the way tp go. Great on small copper and aluminum wire and tie wraps

good value.....very handy......used for crafting

It was way too small for my finger to use comfortable.

Can not cut through 32 or 28 gauge cleanly

Not the sharpest or best cutting flush cutters I have used, but still ok for the price paid. They worked better after giving them a quick sharpen with a diamond sharpener and taking off the slight texture on the flat backside face and making it smooth.
