Taper Cutters Full-Relief with Ergonomic Handle - Razor Flush

Taper head cutters are very popular. The pointed head allows for increased cutting access yet has sufficient strength to avoid tip breakage when used within its capacity. Get into those small coils and trim away the sharp edges when you are doing wire work that will be worn next to the skin. The ergonomic handles are 4.8 inches, fitting the average hand much better than the smaller tools on the market and allowing for easier repetitive use without fatigue. Recommended for use on soft wire no larger than 18 gauge.

When they work great but nick easily and break!
Date:August 25, 2012
Pros: Ease of Use
Cons: Price, Fragile, Quality
"I also LOVE the way these cut when they do the job. I have had TWO pairs and both have nicked and the tip just broke off my 2nd pair cutting 20 gauge wire! I am very disappointed that these are so FRAGILE. Neither pair has lasted me more than a year. I make a LOT of jewelry. I sell at shows and have my jewelry in retail specialty shops. I also have an online store. I will need to find an alternative because I think I am done with this tool."

Just the best

Pros: Size, Price, Ease of Use, Quality
"I loved my Lindstrom cutters -- until I tried these. The precision blades and shape of the head make it easy to cut tiny bits of wire in tight places where my Lindstroms couldn't even reach. And the flush side of the cut wire is absolutely straight and smooth. This is a seriously great tool."

"As a Jewelry Designer and Artisan of quality, one-of-a-kind pieces it is most important to the processes to have high quality, easy to use tools. Throughout my experience as a designer and artisan, by far these have been the best cutters I have used to date. Highly recommended for the discerning artisan."

How Did I Manage?
Date:June 17, 2010
Pros: Quality, Ease of Use
Cons: Price
"I always felt like these cutters were too expensive and didn't think they would be worth all the extra money. Boy was I wrong! Over the years, I've puchased at least 6 pair of low priced cutters that I haven't been happy with. Wish I would've been smart and just bought a great pair to begin with! These are worth every cent. Cuts extremely close, minimizing the time I have to spend finishing off a wire wrap. Protect your eyes when using these. It cuts so quickly and efficiently that the wire really POPS off. DO NOT USE ON ANY GAUGE MEMORY WIRE!!!!"

Pros: Quality, Size, Ease of Use
Cons: Price
Other beading styles or techniques: stringing
"These are terrific flush cut pliers. I've been looking for something that has a recessed scissor to get in really close to snip beading wire. These do an excellent job, are wonderfully crafted and don't create hand fatigue. I would recommend these to anyone - but try to buy them during one of Artbeads great sales - I saved a lot that way!"
