Wire Cutter Pliers | Side Cutter | Pack of 1 - Jewellery Wire and Bead Work

Trim jewellery wire, head pins and cord ends cleanly. These wire cutter pliers have short, sharp side cutting jaws that cut close to the work, so the end needs little filing.

The jaws are steel and the handles are cushioned for a steady grip.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does this plier do?
It is a wire cutter with side cutting jaws, sold as a pack of 1, for jewellery wire, head pins and cord.

Will it cut memory wire?
No. Memory wire is hardened and will notch the blades. Use a dedicated memory wire cutter.

Wire cutter or the 1-step looper?
A wire cutter only trims, at any length you choose. The looper trims and rolls a fixed 2.25mm loop in one squeeze. Pick the cutter for general finishing, the looper for repeat eye pins.
