Customer Reviews

These are sharp, comfortable, and work very well.

These little Hakko CHP-170 Micro Clean Cutters are great for PC board work... trimming component leads down to size after soldering.

Buy a few pairs as you will no doubt use them for thing they are not intended.

I got these to cut & trim electronic part leads on a couple of IC circuit board projects. They work really well and cut hundreds of leads effortlessly.

The cutting edges are well machined and give you the control you need for working in tight spaces. I have large hands and the molded grips are comfortable. They're spring loaded which makes them easy to use, and I use a rubber band to keep them closed before putting them away (to protect the cutting edges, etc.) When working, I just leave them in easy reach. Solder, clip, repeat...

Sure, you can spend more on other pliers or for heavy duty work, like guitar strings or 12 gauge electrical wires, but these are perfect for electronic work.

What can I say? These are some handy little cutters. Snip through capacitor and resistor leads like butter. These came free with my Hakko FX-888 soldering station, but they are definitely worth buying on their own.

For normal through-hole components, this tool will be all you need to trim things up when the soldering is done. Easily cuts through 18 AWG solid-core wire and solder blobs. An excellent tool.

This is the best by far when it comes to cutting those tough to reach RDA coil leads. I am telling you right now, you will get in there and eliminate all those terrible times where you snipped the wrong wire or your nail clippers fell apart in your hand. Come on, you want to chuck those clouds? Get this!

I have always wanted a pair of these...spring handle...flush cut...comfortable and substantial. They have a pretty wide range of cutting different gauges. They really give you a lot of confidence and hope I don't get to cocky and cut something stupid and ruin them. So far I have really enjoyed being able to flush cut a solder joint and get the shrink to go on smoothly. I would not hesitate to recommend these to anyone.

these are great to use for cutting excess wire on your RDAs "Rebuildable dripping atomizer. Can cut the wire flush against positive and negative post and for the attys with a deep pan these cutters can get right in there to make flush cuts. Cuts through 22 gauge like butter

I ordered these because the spring bars in my el-cheapo pair of cutters were slipping; driving me nuts. What a difference a quality tool can make! Even when my old cutter was brand new it didn't cut (PTH electronics) leads like this. It's like night and day:

* Bad cutter == pull, SNAP! Piece of metal goes flying off somewhere.
* Hakko cutter == pull, cuts like butter. Piece of metal falls gently on to the workbench below.

I paid $7 for this cutter. Only wish I paid $7 for it years ago!

Decent flush snippers for light duty work, such as electronics. I wouldn't suggest them for wire as thick/hard as guitar strings but for low voltage work or working with copper, monofilament or such they're just fine.

The jaws align well and they're large enough in the handle to be comfortable.
