My flush cutters get used daily, for trimming pilot cable ends, cleaning up multicore crimps and neatening plastic cable ties. No cable over 1.5mm2 csa. The cuts this tool makes are neat and flush, however the blade sheared in the middle, taking off the top of it after only two months of use. My second set have had the blades last two months, however, the joint in the middle is wearing... I've been recommended to move over to the Lindstrom piano wire cutters next because they're accurate and durable. Expected more of CK. It's a five star tool if it's only for occasional use, but only mediocre if for professional use.

I bought these cutters to replace a set of similar Snap On cutters that had become very blunt (probably my fault for trying to cut Litwin Pins). When they arrived I was surprised at how big the handles were for such small cutting blades. Although this may be good for ergonomics it does make them hard to use in confined spaces. They appear to be well made and will find a place in my tool cabinet, but I will still need to find a pair of smaller handled ones.

Always built to last. The shears are pretty sharp and, unlike others, stay that way! Great for steel wire armour cables, stainless steel braided cables used in the oil and gas industry or even for cutting tie wraps in hard to reach places. The delivery time was within days aswell, would highly recommend to anyone either in the trade or the occasional diy'er.

Excellent quality for cutting soft thin gauge wire, but I use these side cutters for trimming plastic scale model parts from heavy gauge sprues, ideal for my hobby.

These cutter are well made, strong and with a precise cutting action. The handles are slightly bigger than my previous pair but are still OK to use but could be smaller at the front end.
