Category: Jewellery Making Tools

Side cutters built for production runs — the shaped handles carry finger scallops that spread grip pressure, so the hundredth cut of the day lands as cleanly as the first. The jaws are angled for close cuts against the work, which suits trimming wire wraps, findings and component leads tight to the piece.

Construction is polished stainless steel throughout: a box joint that holds the cutting edges in alignment, a double-leaf spring that reopens the handles between cuts, and all-metal handles that wipe clean and never shed a cushion grip. Makers who prefer the direct feel and durability of bare metal over padded grips will be at home with them. Overall length is 5.5" (140mm).

  • Shaped stainless steel handles with finger scallops to reduce localised pressure.
  • Side-cutting jaws are angled for making close, clean cuts to your work.
  • Polished, all-metal construction for durability and easy cleaning.
  • Box-joint design maintains jaw alignment for reliable, consistent cutting.
  • Double-leaf spring provides a responsive, self-opening action for repetitive tasks.

Who it's for

An essential bench tool for UK production jewellers, wire-wrapping artists, and electronics hobbyists who cut soft wire repeatedly. They are favoured by makers who prefer the direct feel and durability of all-metal handles over cushioned grips.

Steven A. ★★★★★

The finger scallops on the handles really do make a difference — I finished a whole batch of earrings without the usual sore spot on my thumb. Cuts through 20-gauge wire cleanly every time, and the stainless steel still looks polished after a few weeks of use.

Benjamin ★★★★★

After a full day of wire wrapping, my hand isn’t cramping at all — the finger scallops really do spread the pressure. Clean cuts every time, even when I’m tired.

Elizabeth ★★★★★

The angled jaws make it so much easier to get into tight spots without straining my wrist. After a full day of wire wrapping, my hand feels way less tired than with my old cutters — the finger scallops really do spread the pressure.
