Collection: Wire Cutters

Flush cutters leave a smooth, flat end ideal for trimming component leads, while diagonal (side) cutters leave a slight pinch but handle a wider range of wire. Many electronics kits include both. See hand tools.

Only if the cutter is rated for it. Fine flush cutters are made for soft copper and will chip on steel. Use a heavier cutter rated for hard wire to protect the edge.

The rated capacity is given in mm² or AWG for different materials. Stay within it to keep clean cuts and avoid damaging the jaws. For thick cable, choose a heavy-duty cutter; see Power & Cables.

The edges are likely dull or chipped from cutting hard wire. Some cutters use replaceable edges; otherwise it is time for a new tool. Keep spare cutter blades where supported.

No. Cutters sever the wire, while strippers remove insulation without nicking the conductor. Some combination tools do both. For terminations, see the cable tools range.

Cut only within the rated material and size, keep the pivot lightly oiled, and store them dry. Avoid using cutters as pliers, which misaligns the jaws and ruins clean cuts.
