VAPING: Cleanly cuts Nichrome 80(NI-80)
I bought these to cut very strong Nichrome 80 wire and while they aren't exactly flush cut they do cut it perfectly. Since I know where I need the cut to be I'm able to use these to make the cut prior to installation so as to not have the excess overhang from the build deck on my vape. If you have to have an absolute flush cut then you need to find a different pair. If you're vaping kanthal wire then any regular cheapo flush cuts will do, but if you're vaping something stronger like stainless or NI-80 and don't want to spend $$$ for the expensive legit flush cuts then these will work perfectly. The $5-$12 flush cuts WILL NOT cut NI-80 cleanly and WILL BREAK eventually. The cutting tips will literally shatter, I know from experience. Also, these IRWIN's are 100 times better than the stanley 6 inch.

they are comfortable, work well
not much to say other than I have weened myself off cheap harbor freight tools a little bit and started buying Irwin. they are comfortable, work well, cut well. I have no doubt I will have these for years. I only do homeowner stuff and work on my car. I have about 8 or so different irwin cutters, pliers, channel locks, lineman pliers, needle nose and an adjustable end wrench which some people know as crescent wrench.. They all seem like really good quality tools

My New Favorites
I'm an audio engineer that also does A LOT of equipment installs, repairs and custom wiring. Quality tools makes for more precise workmanship. Every Irwin tool I own has continued to perform above my expectations. Especially at their price point!! I HIGHLY recommend their tools! Great craftmanship!!

Quality is obvious
I wanted a decent wire cutter for both electronics and craft types of wire. I already have a top-end cutter for memory wire, bolts and nails, etc., but it's 8" and is too large to use for fine trimming on small pieces. I've read many reviews about economy wire cutters getting ruined because they weren't hardened, and once made that same mistake. This cutter is perfect for my smaller jobs and I have no doubts about durability. At only $10 I couldn't have done any better. My only regret is that I didn't make sure that this cutter had a spring, didn't even give it any thought really, and it doesn't. I guess my thought was they all had springs. Live and learn. Maybe I can rig one.

Daily use at an affordable price.
Let's be realistic here. These are cutting pliers. They either work or they don't. These work, they last, and are super affordable. To be more specific, I use these everyday for work. Mostly to cut industrial zip ties and various cables. But they are also perfectly happy cutting thin chain links or other random things. They look and work just as good over a year later as they did when I got them. Worth every penny and then some.

Excellent quality!
Excellent quality and works very well. That's about all I can say. These are wire cutters designed for cutting copper, aluminum and light gauge steel wire. They are NOT bolt cutters. Use them properly and they'll last a lifetime.

Works Great with Faux Flowers
Great item for the price, makes a clean cut every time. I use these cutters when creating faux floral arrangements, and they work extremely well on the typically thin wires. I don't, however, think this item would be sufficiently heavy-duty for cutting thicker wires but that's a guesstimation. Will definitely purchase again when a new pair of cutters is needed.

Actually cut, strong enough to not bend/warp
I've had a lot of pliers over the years that when you try to cut anything that is a little bit thicker they kind of bend on you and don't cut very well. I can put as much pressure as I physically can on these and they do a great job! Obviously these aren't going to be cutting anything super thick, but for any 12 guage electrical, zip ties, and other small things like that they work fantastically! I'll definitely buy another pair or two down the road

Absolutely love these pliers
Absolutely love these pliers. I recently decided to make toys for my chinchilla, so I went out and purchased a lot of wood and wire to string some wooden chew toys together. The wires I purchased aren't particularly thick, so I can't say how these fare with thicker wires... but with the thin wires I purchased, this plier cuts it like BUTTER. So effortlessly! I never thought I'd love a pair of pliers as much as I love these. Very sturdy and well-made. I've got these handy in my tool drawer.

Can not go wrong with vise grip.
I love these little guys l. I have the bigger one one day I was working on something and I could not get the larger snips into where I was working. Then it came to me let me see if there are smaller once. To my relieve there were. For the size they pack a punch. They are able to cut through a bunch of materials with out damiging the cutting edge. I love that there are insilated in the handles and I free safe. You guys did it again Vise grip.
