Long-Life High-Force Wire End Cutters for Hard Wire
The carbide-tipped steel jaws stay sharp longer than standard steel jaws. You can sharpen them as they wear. These cutters have a double hinge that provides high cutting force with low gripping pressure. Also known as nippers, they have wide, flat jaws that cut close to the surface. A spring opens the jaws for quick cutting.
Precision Wire End Cutters
Make accurate, flush cuts through small wire with these tweezer-style cutters. The smallest of our wire end cutters, they cut close to the surface with such high precision that they’re often used by jewelers to make watch repairs.
Steel cutters are harder than stainless steel ones, so the tips stay sharp longer. However, steel is more likely to corrode in wet environments than stainless steel.
Diamond-coated steel cutters snip through the hardest metals and stay sharp longer than uncoated steel or stainless steel cutters. They’re also more corrosion resistant than either and are chemically inert.

These cutters help reduce hand fatigue when you’re snipping through thick, hard metal or making repeated cuts. All have an adjustment screw to align cutting edges. For more leverage, choose cutters with longer handles. Not for use on wire rope.
Electrical-Insulating Bolt and Chain Cutters
Insulated handles protect against shock from accidental contact with live electrical circuits. These cutters are tested to 1,000 volts to meet IEC 60900 and ASTM F1505. Use to cut medium steel chain and hard steel bolts, rods, screws, rivets, nails, bars, and wire. Cutters have an adjustment screw to align cutting edges. Not for use on wire rope.
Bench-Mount Bolt, Hard Chain, and Padlock Cutters
Make repeated cuts in hard materials with this cutter. It mounts for stability and provides extra leverage. It has a short-nosed jaw that forces the material being cut deep into the jaw and also allows you to cut one side of a chain link or padlock hasp without hitting the other side. Align cutting edges with the adjustment screw. Not for use on wire rope.
Air-Powered Bolt and Chain Cutters
Slice through bolts and chain with low effort. A spring opens the jaws for quick cuts. Not for use on wire rope.

Compact Bolt Cutters
Make one-handed cuts with these small cutters. Because they’re shorter than standard bolt cutters, they’re best for cutting thin bolts and wire. For more leverage, choose longer cutters. Not for use on wire rope.
All have jaws that are riveted onto the handles except cutters with aluminum handles. Riveted jaws are not replaceable.
Serrated jaws grip the material you’re cutting to prevent slipping.
Cutters with aluminum handles are 30% lighter than steel-handled cutters, so they’re more comfortable for repeated cuts. Their cutting head is replaceable, and they have an adjustment screw to align cutting edges.
