BOENFU Wire Cutters Black (5 Inch)

Can not cut through 32 or 28 gauge cleanly

poorly packed and oily coated

These are perfect for cutting apart metal craft dies. Clean cuts and very close.

These are much smaller than most of their competitors (which is why I bought them), but the handles are nice and thick and make them feel a bit more substantial than you might otherwise expect.I love that these have a lock, unlike the Hakko CHP-170. The Hakkos constantly pop open, which makes it hard to close my toolbox, but these stay shut and don't give me any problems.When space isn't a concern I'll probably stick with the CHP-170, but for my toolbox where space is very much a concern these will definitely do the trick.

I really enjoy the tiny nature of this item because I needed something that was easy to travel with. It has a really useful lock feature that I wish more clippers had so I can safely store the clippers among my other items. Unfortunately, the clippers broke when I was just snipping regular plastic zip ties. Super disappointed that it broke so soon after I had just purchased it. I really wanted to like it but it looks like this was just too weak. I would buy it again if I knew the next one wouldn't break on something simple like a zip tie. I just need something more dependable.
