    posted by Rolfern on 15:38:16 G9T 09/09/2008 certificated customer

    Involvement Level: Expert (understands the inner workings)

    Pros: This one is excellent when working with printed circuit boards, it cuts the components very near the board

    Cons: The build quality could be better, the two halves of the cutter does not meet exactly. The handles could have given a better grip, but then again, at this price...

    Other: Very good tool, hard to get any better at this price.

    Involvement Level: Expert (understands the inner workings)

    Pros: - Quality hardened stainless steel jaws.
    - The design is smart and the build quality is nice (symmetrically shaped blades that meet square on).
    - Can cut those "hard to reach" wires and component legs.

    Cons: - Better grip handles would be nice.

    Other: This is a good tool at a good price, simple as that.

    posted by octagonalman on 19:49:54 G2T 09/02/2009 certificated customer

    Involvement Level: Expert (understands the inner workings)

    Pros: Compact cutting instrument.
    Excellent for hobby electronics use.
    Well-balanced spring return doesn't require too much effort to squeeze, yet opens back up quite nicely.
    Insulated handles (while one probably shouldn't be cutting live wires, it does mean that the operator's hands aren't touching bare cold metal).

    Cons: Central pivot point gives in a little at the maximum squeeze. Blades don't meet absolutely perfectly.

    Other: A worthwhile hand tool for a hobby user.

  • Great cutter

    posted by Gerbrand on 04:48:31 G3T 05/03/2009 certificated customer

    Involvement Level: Expert (understands the inner workings)

    Pros: This is a very neat cutter.
    It's sharp, the handles are very nice also.
    In your hand it feels like a professional tool..............

    Cons: None really. Maybe the should add something like a ''lock''. So the cutter is closed when not used.

    Other: Great cutter for a good price. If you need something like this, buy one!

  • Great cutters !

    posted by RustyRuss on 09:01:35 G3T 23/03/2009 certificated customer

    Involvement Level: Expert (understands the inner workings)

    Pros: these are great cutters !
    i work with electronics every day and I find these cutters pretty good.
    I cannot comment on how hard the steel is, but they seem ok so far.
    Fine cutting edge, great for stripping light gauge wire.

    Cons: the handle are not comfortable, they are made from very hard plastic and are fairly thin.
    But its not too bad overall

    Other: Great cutters and great price

    posted by zmeios on 13:40:35 G3T 23/03/2009 certificated customer

    Involvement Level: Expert (understands the inner workings)

    Pros: These work very well for cutting small wires, component leads, and other fine items. The blades seem sharp (don't know how long they will last however)
    The best part about this SKU is the disproportionately large handles, compared to many other cutters. This makes the unit a bit ugly, but transfers more of your energy when you cut, resulting in very clean cuts (essential for electronic component leads)

    Cons: Did not have a protector for the cutting tip. A piece of plastic would come in handy and cost a fraction of a penny. If you are not careful, you can poke someone's eye out with unprotected small cutters.

    Other: If you only have larger cutters and struggle to trim thin wires with them, get this. It is very well suited for fine wires.
