These side cutters are good for working with small cables and different wires - that's what they are intended for. They bite hard wire up to 2 mm not bad, but thicker wire is a little heavy, they require no small effort. I think the handles are to blame for this, or rather their hardening. Yes, and they would be wider, the metal itself. (The most ordinary Lux-tools cope with this task more easily, oddly enough). Not thick nails - no problem. I note the quality of the sponges with notches, which (notches) become clearly visible in the light, after shedding chrome from the sponges. If you do not bite any calenka unnecessarily, the edges are not killed. Power X-CUTs can not be called in any way, this is more of a marketing gimmick. The most difficult thing that he gave them for a snack was a light-matte spring of 2.5 mm, very hard, but they mastered it without a jam and I think that this is their ceiling. By the way, the knipex 0206200 pliers bite through the firmament (the same spring) with an effort that is noticeably lighter than X-cuts. Conclusion - we bite only wires and carry pliers with us.
