Review on πŸ”ͺ PLATO 170 Shear Cutter, 1mm: Precision Cutting Tool for Industrial Applications by Homer Reed

Revainrating 4 out of 5

These are some very good flush cuts for the money

These are some very good flush cuts for the money, and if used properly (not cutting through thicker gauged wires/safety wire) they're not intended for they should last for a very long time. I bought these primarily to flush cut zip-ties to secure wire bundles, but after noticing their quality they became my go-to snips for electronic work.The Good:-Dependable quality at a bargain.-Clean, straight cuts every time.The Bad:-The only knock on these (if you can call it that) is that he jaws dont open up far enough for larger zip-ties in awkward angles. The limitations on the opening are probably designed to discourage their use on thicker wires that they're not intended for, so you cant really call it a flaw.

Pros
  • None better for close trimming. Well made.
Cons
  • The cutter may be too small for customers with larger hands
