Category: Jewellery Making Tools

Made for the casting bench: nipping sprues and gates from fresh castings, and shearing heavy-gauge non-ferrous wire and rod that standard diagonal cutters simply refuse. The compound lever linkage multiplies hand pressure, so thick sections part cleanly with modest effort — a difference you feel across a full tray of castings.

Steel jaws carry the diagonal cutting edges, set in a heavy-duty, black-finished head running on multiple steel pivot points. At 255 mm overall, the handles give generous leverage and control, and the low-effort action keeps hand fatigue down during repetitive cutting. Keep them to non-ferrous metals and the edges will stay keen.

  • Compound lever design significantly multiplies cutting force from hand pressure.
  • Robust steel jaws with diagonal cutting edges for shearing thick material.
  • Overall length of 255mm provides excellent leverage and control.
  • Heavy-duty build with a black-finished head and multiple steel pivot points.
  • Engineered specifically for cutting non-ferrous casting sprues and gates.

Who it's for

An essential tool for UK jewellery casting studios, silversmiths, and any workshop regularly cutting thick-gauge non-ferrous wire or rod. The compound action makes them ideal for repetitive cutting tasks, reducing hand fatigue whilst improving the quality of the cut.

Customer Reviews (4.6 / 5 · 5 reviews)

Scarlett M. ★★★★★

Snipping 6-gauge copper wire used to leave my hands aching, but these shears cut through it like butter with barely any effort. The jaws align perfectly and leave a clean, flush cut every time.

Scarlett Z. ★★★★★

I work with heavy-gauge silver rod regularly, and these cut through like butter—no more struggling or ruined edges. The compound linkage really delivers on the promised mechanical advantage.

Harper R. ★★★★★

Finally, a cutter that actually handles 6-gauge copper wire without me having to go grab the hacksaw. The compound linkage really does multiply the force, and the 255mm length gives great leverage for snipping heavier sprues cleanly.
