Knipex 78 06 125 VDE 125 mm Electronic Super Knips

These are the nippers to buy. The spring is properly attached so it doesn't fall out, the handles are ergonomic, and the blades are the right size to fit into tight spots in an assembly. Trims everything from copper and tin leads to occasional stainless leaded components without difficulty or noticeable dulling. They are excellent quality for a reasonable price.Do consider that these are miniature nippers - they are inherently limited by their size. They are intended for trimming small components leads and wire in tight spaces, not cutting through heavy gauge wire, terminals or steel (although I have occasionally trimmed stainless lead components).For a while we bought similar looking Chinese knockoffs, however noticed after several months the knockoff would break at the bend between the blade and the handle. Weird to see but the Knipex don't break, and hold an edge better, so I'd say they are worth an extra few bucks.

Excellent for snipping zip ties bikes or clipping supports off 3d printed parts, or plastic model kits. I have 2 of these and they come in super handy. Knipex is high quality, buy with confidence.

This company makes the best tools for my lab. I go through many of these kind of snips a year, but this one has lasted longer than any of them and works consistently better.

There are cheaper, flush cuts on the market than these, but none last as long. Also, none are as sharp. These things are extremely sharp. These have lasted me usually 6 to 8 months when I purchase them I use them for soldering XLR’s and for terminating network.

Best nippers, bar none. Nuff said.

My favorite tool for jewelry making and other times when I need a small pair of snippers. Great quality!

The best snipper I’ve used so far.

Husband was happy with the quality. Will buy again when we need to.
