Also known as nippers, these cutters have wide, flat jaws that cut steel wire and bolts close to the surface. A spring opens the jaws for quick cutting.

Make accurate, flush cuts through small wire with these tweezer-style cutters. The smallest of our wire end cutters, they cut close to the surface with such high precision that they’re often used by jewelers to make watch repairs.

Steel cutters are harder than stainless steel ones, so the tips stay sharp longer. However, steel is more likely to corrode in wet environments than stainless steel.

Stainless steel cutters are corrosion resistant for use in damp or humid environments. Cutters with a tungsten carbide tip stay sharp longer than any other precision wire end cutters. However, the tip is brittle and can chip from accidental impact.

Diamond-coated steel cutters snip through the hardest metals and stay sharp longer than uncoated steel or stainless steel cutters. They’re also more corrosion resistant than either and are chemically inert.

Cutters with 3/16 in. tips won’t block your view of your wire, helping you make an accurate cut. They’re often used under microscopes or in other small spaces.

Snip wire close against circuit boards and other electronic components without building up electrostatic discharge (ESD). These cutters have grips that drain static away from the blades to prevent damage to sensitive equipment. Also known as nippers, they have wide, flat jaws that make flush cuts, so you don’t nick anything beneath your wire. The box-joint design helps them maintain their jaw alignment, even after frequent use. A spring opens the jaws for quick cutting. Since the grips are plastic, they're comfortable when you're making repeat cuts and won't slip from your hands.
