These shears work very well for cutting soft materials including copper wire and HO gauge brass model RR track. In the past I managed to break the blade off a pair by trying to use them on some material that was much to large - but that was my fault - not the shears. When used properly, they stay sharp, provide a very precise cut and and last a long time. These Xuron 2175 shears are essential for my electronic hobby.

I've used a lot of different flush cutting tools over the years. These by far have been my go to cutters. They hold an edge well (as long as you don't try cutting hard wire or steel items like nails, screws and such). I even use a pair for a totally off list use, they are excellent nail clippers! For electronics use the way they shear the wire leaves it very flush. My only complaint is that the spring could be a bit stronger to make them lock into your hand.

Awesome product. Works better than any cutter I've ever purchased and works great on every size wire it says it's designed for. Worked so well I purchased 3 different sizes for my wife and another size for my bench. We make custom jewelry.

These cutters get the job done. Easy to handle, works good, lasts a long time! I only bought another pair because my wife used them to pull nails out of the wall. She confused them for pliers, she says...

Excellent for any instance where a flush cut is needed on plastic spruces, rail, styrene strips, etc. wore out my first pair which I acquired used so bought two fresh pair that I expect to last a long time.
