These ultra-flush 5" (125mm) wire cutters are my go-to cutters for all things beading and jewelry design! The are specially hardened for cutting through stringing wire.
Made in Europe, they have an extra hard jaw for extended life. Jaws are induction hardened to 60-62 Rockwell, and when used properly this degree of hardness assures a precise and clean cut, again and again. Do not use these precision sidecutters on Memory Wire.
They are the perfect tool for cutting all types of wire (except Memory Wire), including craft wire, fine metal wire, 316L stainless steel wire and stringing wire, and will cleanly and easily cut hard wire up to 14 gauge.
Jaws pass one another ever so slightly, but do not touch edge to edge, and so, do not dull as quickly as conventional cutters. The smooth return spring, sturdy rivet joint, and ergonomic comfort grip handles help lessen hand-fatigue, and make these cutters essential for repetitive production work.
All the tools in our line of beading tools are inspired by the needs of real people making beaded jewelry - for pleasure, for sale, for gifts or donations. Over the years I have worked with a variety of beading tools for all manner of beading techniques, and Om Tara® tools reflect the style, size and function of tools that have worked best for me over the years.
Oh, and all Om Tara® Tools carry a lifetime guarantee!
