Category: Jewellery Making Tools

These 5-inch diagonal cutters are engineered for precise wire cutting on the jeweller's bench, handling up to 12-gauge hard materials cleanly.

What it does

The precisely ground jaws, featuring integrated tungsten carbide tips, deliver consistent, burr-free cuts on tough wires, including memory wire and stainless steel up to 2.05mm. This superior hardness ensures the cutting edge retains its sharpness far longer than standard steel, reducing the need for frequent tool replacement. The robust box joint construction maintains jaw alignment and stability through extensive use, providing reliable performance.

How to use it

  • Position wire securely within the jaw tips.
  • Apply steady pressure for a clean cut.
  • Wipe clean and store in a dry place.

Who it's for

Ideal for UK jewellers, silversmiths, and serious wire-workers who regularly process harder wires. This tool replaces less durable cutters, offering a reliable solution for repetitive production tasks and detailed work where precision is paramount.

Claire ★★★★★

I was worried 5 inches would feel cramped at the bench, but the PVC handles actually give me enough grip for longer sessions. The tungsten carbide tips stay sharp after weeks of trimming 12-gauge wire, which is more than my last pair managed.

Madison S. ★★★★★

These snip through 12-gauge sterling wire like it's nothing, and the PVC handles stay comfortable even after an hour of wrapping loops. The 5-inch size is perfect for my small bench setup.

Ruby C. ★★★★★

I was skeptical about the tungsten carbide tips actually making a difference, but these snip through 12-gauge wire with barely any pressure from my hand. The 5-inch size feels perfectly balanced for detailed bench work, and the PVC handles give a solid grip even after hours of soldering and cutting
