Review on ๐Ÿ”ช Tronex Heavy-Duty Cutter with Flush Edges (Long Ergonomic Handles) โ€“ Model 7812 by Wendy Rodriguez

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Ideal for heavier gauges

I have had these knives for over a year now. They cut 14 gauge copper, brass, sterling silver and silver perfectly. I've also used them on 10 gauge silver and copper, but not often as that thickness exceeds recommended specs. There is a VERY small pinch in the center, but not enough to prevent the jump ring from closing cleanly. I rarely feel the need to cut it, but when I just need some file movement. I usually cut all my chainmail rings, but often wrap a short ring or two. I can easily hand cut them with these cutters and they close very well. It takes a very keen eye to find multiple rings cut with these pliers. That's how close they are to the cut. I have a drawer full of other "alleged" pliers that I don't touch now that I've found them. They're expensive, but they're worth it. Customer service is also excellent. When I called about materials other than copper they said I could send them samples and they would test the cut with their cutters so I wouldn't risk damaging mine. They had a very quick turnaround time and I got my results in about a week. Recommend these pliers and the USA made company.

Pros
  • Made in the USA from high quality alloy steel, individually tested for maximum performance.
Cons
  • Only available in white
