Product ReviewsPlato 170 1mm Shear Cutter - Blue

Great deal on Diagonal Cutters

I purchased them for cutting zip ties off of network cabling. I was worried that they would be to light weight for that task but they have worked great. I also use them cutting wire for electronic projects.

The cutting surface is ground and very sharp. The angel of the blade is perfect and the handles are comfortable.Read full review...

Plato 170 side cutters.

Great side/flush cutters for fine work. Have used them for years!
Keep the work to be cut small (less than 0,040" diameter for copper) since the maximum opening is only 3/8".. Originally designed for flush cutting PCB leads after soldering ( wear safety glasses to protect against flying cut pieces) and do not use on static-sensitive devices unless they are cut very slowly to avoid static discharge).. Great for jewelry and other soft metals but do not use for any steel or harder wire- even when thin or the cutting edge edge will be damaged. The cutting edge can be filed sharp when in the closed position. When sharp, these cutters can be used for cutting nylon ties, cord or even cuticles and finger/toe nails!Read full review...

Precise Jewelers Tool

We were needing this to cut charms from our James Avery bracelets. This tool is very handy and very precise to get into small loop openings.

Good cutters for the price

These are nice cutters for the price. They aren't perfect but you'll have to spend quite a bit more money to get just a bit better. They cut Kanthal wire up to 24g and down to 34g just fine. That's what I use them for and would easily buy them again for that. Read full review...

Great and sharp cutters.

I am happy with them, I use them for cutting wire for my vape mods. Only thing I wasn't happy about is the metal shavings left on the blades. Other than that I am happy! Came fast and was packed well!

High quality nice flush cut

These are really nice cutters nice quality feel really good in your hand. They are designed for very small gauge soft wire like building PCB boards or other electronic projects, small rubber tubing etc. Very sharp and nice flush cut. Read full review...

Arrived early but...

The wire cutters arrived a day early, which is always great when ordering online, they came neatly packaged. For the price of these it's definitely worth is, the only problem I found with it is that some spots on the blades wont cut all the way through if you're using closer to the tip, I was trying to cut a piece of 24 aug kanthal and there is now a small indent on the blades. The back of the cutter blades however are fantastic, I will be recommending these to all of my friends and family that vape or are getting into vaping.Read full review...

Great value, these bad boys are sharp.

Good price, quality nippers. Used as gate cutters for lead molds, fishing line clippers, and general wire clipping.

Long Time Favorite of Electronic Assemblers

These are great for building any of the hundreds of electronic kits found on Ebay. You need a sharp quality tool to cut the excess leads on circuit board parts.

These fill the bill. I have used them for decades, and loose more than wear out.Read full review...
