These cutters feature tapered angled 12.75mm long blades with the cutting edges ground flat, resulting in clean, square cuts that require less finishing. 2mm x 1.25mm head tip is narrow enough to work in small areas. Suitable for Tiger Tail beading cord, headpins, eye pins, knot cutting, and smaller gauges of soft metal wire. They are not recommended for cutting memory wire, flex wire, steel wire, hardened brass/bronze wire, or soft metal wires larger than 16 gauge. Double-leaf spring hinges help minimize hand motion, and curved handles have a non-slip black PVC coating. Compact 116mm (4.567in) medium-grade tool for wire wrappers, beaders, and jewelry-makers who require quality at a reasonable cost.
