Review on Heavy-Duty Wire Rope Cutter (8-Inch) For DIY Projects, Railing, Decking, Wire Seals & Bicycle Cable. Sharp & Precise One-Hand Operation Steel Cable Cutter & 8" Wire Cutter Heavy-Duty by Kevin Hawkins

Revainrating 4 out of 5

You don't have to worry about the quality of these snips for a small job.

The company sent me a lemon scented air freshener with the snips, which was nice as I put it in the bottom of our trash receptacle. They also provided several samples of different materials to cut. I used the snips to cut 1/8 inch stainless cable to finish out my custom wire hand rail. They worked well enough on longer pieces. If you try to cut too close to the end of the wire it's a bit of a struggle. I dont think it's the fault of the snips though. The wires will splay and slide between the cutting blades. I think it's a matter of technique.

Pros
  • Needed to cut off a heavy metal dog collar from a pooch and it did it in one try. Thank you!
Cons
  • The grip may be slippery when using the wire cutter in wet conditions
