BOOSDEN 5 inch Flush Cutter, Dikes Wire Cutter for Crafting Electrical Jewelry Making, Ultra Sharp Wire Clippers

These are larger than most wire cutters, which is nice. That makes it easier to snip with less pressure. Easy to use. Nice and sharp. Blades are perfectly aligned without a gap. Great spring action and good grip. Excellent value.

I ordered this to replace a cutter I had purchased from a craft company to cut apart my dies when I receive them. I wasn’t sure if it would work. The first picture shows the cutter itself, please note that the head doesn’t have a locked close setting or a cap, so when it isn’t in use, this what it will look like. The first photo shows a set a dies before I cut them apart. The second set shows them cut apart. They are made of steel, so you can’t just snap them apart easily and if the cutter isn’t strong enough or can’t get in close enough you get sharp pieces that stick out, which cut you. I was satisfied with this cutter. It was able to get into the small spaces between the dies and cut easily and well. When I did have a small sharp bit left, I was able to cut it close and remove the hazard. They are reasonably priced, better than most sold as “craft cutters”. They cut well. I haven’t used them extensively so I can’t give an opinion yet on how long they remain sharp. My only small dislike is the fact that they can’t be locked closed or have a cap on the tip. It just makes storage a pain and also you have to be careful not to grab up by the blades. Overall, I am pleased with the purchase and would recommend them.

These wire cutters are smaller than what I like, but they do the job just as well. For a 5-pack for $25, that comes to $5 each. Not bad. Almost dollar store price. They are solidly built and will last with good care. I have cut some wires with them, but I don't know if there is any real difference between the larger ones. So far, this one cuts everything that the bigger one does. And, it does it with the same easy cut with the wrist and fingers. So, it's a very good buy.

Sharp. Well made. The grips are comfortable. The spring action tension is perfect for me. Unfortunately, these seem to develop the surface rust about as easily as a $10 machete, so I have to keep them oiled.

It is a nice size and cuts through wires and elastic. Very sturdy with a nice grip.

Work great for jewelry making. Able to easily cut my thick stainless steel wire. Bigger than expected but great value.

Very good quality!!

Super comfortable in your hand and very sharp. Cuts wire with minimal effort. Great addition to my crafting tools.
