Carbon Steel 4-1/2" Value Line Side Cutters-Tapered Head

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.

Features

• Tapered head design reaches tight, confined areas more easily than oval head side cutters
• Beveled cutting edges provide added strength during use
• Recommended for soft non-ferrous jewelry metals including copper, silver, and gold
• Detailed hand polish delivers a finish that rivals higher-priced German-made pliers
• Leaf spring mechanism for smooth, responsive action
• Plastic grip handles for comfort during extended use
• Economical option suited for most general jewelry applications
