KNIPEX Electronic Super Knips Electronics Diagonal Cutter, 125 mm, VDE, Soft Wire (Copper) to 1.6 mm, Medium Hard Wire to 1 mm, 78 06 125

These are a great little set of snips. Allows you to get into confirmed spaces where larger side cutters won’t reach. I have the VDE version as were required to use VDE tools at my work. I have two sets of these, one in my main tool kit and another in the mini-kit that I keep in my truck. Also Greta for clipping off cable ties and other jobs where you don’t want to use your proper side cutters or the dreaded “Stanley knife pressed into service” approach. They are expensive but the quality is a different level to generic options on the market.

Excellent.

These have been great at Knipping softer materials over the last 17 months, mostly polystyrene in my example. But some thin wood, soft metals like copper and brass wire/rods for model making including hotwheels modification and Gundam. Not fine enough to do the final gate cut, but enough to tear up the sprue good n proper. I did once try to cut a Hotwheels axle, but it instantly dented the blade, as you can see in the close up near the base of the cutting edge. And I did somehow chip the tips, not sure how as I've never dropped them or used them on metal at the tips.

Great little flush cutters. Minimal effort to get a nice smooth edge on cable ties. Definitely worth the extra cost. I'd used the cheap Amazon yellow and black ones for years but the most recent ones I bought felt very poor and didn't cut as well as they used to so decided to pay for the decent ones and they are easily a superior product.

Tiny but really useful and perfect for intricate jobs

Typical Knipex quality and the 45 degree angle makes access issues a thing of the past. These cut cable ties perfectly flush and make for a tidy job while removing the risk of getting cuts and scratches from poorly trimmed ties.

The best of all cutters, often copied, just never bettered.

Works great as a nail clipper
