So far these pliers have worked great with my beading wire especially when I need to cut the wire close to the bead with the tips of the blades . Hope they last a few years.
They work really well but mine make a click when you squeeze them tight. They cut well, but then the jaw clicks a little if it's off-center *after* cutting. For the price, I think they should work just fine. Of course, after saying I still liked her enough to keep her, trying to replace her seemed like more trouble than it was worth. Maybe I just met a marginal couple.
I worked in electronics assembly in the 80's and was introduced to Lindstrom cutters at the time. In fact, I bought a pair and have used them in many hobbies and crafts ever since. I was very sad when a pair of wire cutters broke after a few decades of use. bought it straight away. So far I have been very happy with the quality and functionality.
As a professional electronics technician with over 25 years experience and an engineer for 15 years I have used many different side cutters and many Lindstrom cutters over the years. They have always surprised me with the quality of their instruments. This cutter seems to follow the same pattern. When the price dropped to almost $25 recently, I just had to bite down and buy another pair. I'm used to paying about $50 for a pair of these or a pair of Erem cutters. These are my "good" knives now…
