A great choice for the beginner, the hobbyist, or for front counter use. These 4-1/2" carbon steel side cutters feature a tapered head design that allows access to tight, hard-to-reach areas where oval head cutters cannot easily maneuver. The outside edges of the jaws taper toward the tip, giving you precise placement in confined spaces.
Unlike oval head side cutters, the tapered profile trades some tip durability for improved access. To protect the cutting edges and extend tool life, always cut as deep into the blades as possible rather than relying on the tips alone.
