Lindstrom 8160 Diagonal Cutting Nipper - Micro Bevel

Great side cutters, purchased a s a gift and well received. My own personal pair are over twenty years old :)

Best side cutters made - period.They’re expensive- yes, but my first pair were bought back in the early 1980’s. They have a few notches in the blades now (which is why I bought a replacement pair).The notches were my fault for trying to cut something too hard/wide - only because they’re good enough to make you think they might cut it...I’ll keep the old pair - as they’d still OK for tougher jobs - but these new ones will be used for precision..

Lindstrom have long been known as a high precision, genuine brand. My Dad recommended them to me after I complained that my cheap Chinese wire cutters broke. All I'll say is, buy Chinese crap, buy again. Buy these and look after them and they'll be the wire cutters you take to the grave.

Pricey, but worth it. Great flush cutting, well made and last and last…One little problem is that the yellow covering on the handles tends to slip off which puts the spring out of alignment. Nothing a dab of superglue can't solve.

I didn't check the size and was expecting the smaller version more usually used for PCB type work. so check the Lindstrom website for more detailed description and alternative versions before you buy. But very nice cutters, sharp and accurate, I'm expecting years of service.

Quality

Lindstrom yellow .. not the Rolls Royce like Lindstrom white .. but highly durable and precise .. last pair survived 20+ years of hard work and occasional abuse.

Great product for a good price
