Slim diagonal cutters for light-gauge wire — trimming beading wire, snipping headpins flush against the work, tidying component leads. The diagonally ground jaws let you cut close against a surface, and the slim-line profile reaches into tight spots where a full-size cutter will not go. Match the cutter to the wire, though: our wire gauge guide explains what counts as light gauge.

Spring-loaded handles reopen the jaws between cuts, sparing your hand over a long stringing session, and the moulded plastic grips carry a textured surface for a sure hold. At 5 inches overall and lightweight with it, this is an honest, affordable cutter for soft wire on the hobbyist's bench.

  • Slim, diagonally-ground jaws allow for flush cuts against a surface.
  • Spring-loaded handles reduce hand fatigue during repetitive cutting tasks.
  • Moulded plastic grips with a textured surface provide a secure hold.
  • Compact 5-inch (125mm approx.) overall length for manoeuvrability in detailed work.
  • Lightweight construction is ideal for extended use in beading and craft projects.

Who it's for

An essential, affordable cutter for UK hobby jewellers, beaders, and model makers working with soft, light-gauge wires. Also suitable for electronics hobbyists for trimming component leads and other light-duty tasks.

Violet F. ★★★★★

The diagonal jaws really do cut flush against the surface, which saved me from ruining a few jump rings today. The grips are comfortable enough for detailed work, and the 5-inch size is perfect for my jewelry bench.

Miles ★★★★★

Finally a pair of cutters that lets me trim headpins flush without leaving a jagged edge—the diagonal jaws make all the difference. I've been through three other pairs for my beading projects and these are the first that actually work cleanly on fine wire.

Abigail L. ★★★★★

The jaws are slim enough to snip flush against a bead without marring it, and the black grips give solid control for hobby wire work. I've used them for trimming headpins and they cut cleanly every time.
