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

A great choice for the beginner, the hobbyist or for front counter use.

Compared to oval head side cutters, tapered head cutters are better suited for making cuts in hard to reach areas as the outside edges of the jaws taper to the tip. However what you gain in access you lose in strength as the tips can be easier to damage.

When you use any type of side cutters it is always good practice to cut as deep into the cutting edges as you can and not just rely on the tips to do the work.

These cutters have beveled edges for added strength while cutting. Recommended for cutting soft non-ferrous jewelry metals like copper, silver and gold.

The finish of these pliers is excellent, as each pair of cutting pliers receives a detailed hand polish to rival the finish of the German pliers. Imported from Pakistan, these pliers with leaf springs and plastic grips are economical and good for most jewelry applications.
