KNIPEXTools - Electronics Super Knips, INOX Steel, Multi-Component (7803125), 5-Inch

I love how close to the circuit board I can clip with these. They get into tight spaces well, too. A very well made tool.

I mainly use these for cutting zip ties after I’ve pulled them tight. They leave the zip tie perfectly smooth where I’ve cut it. They get flush with the square part of the zip tie where it has the part that holds the zip tie tight.I don’t know if you have ever reached under a dashboard to do some work and been cut by a sharp zip tie but, they will cut you badly. These make it, so it doesn’t happen anymore. Amazing product.

I have a pair of flush cutters from another manufacturer.I purchased these for another location.They far exceed the others I have.I've swapped them for my others as they will get used more.Very pleased with the quality of these flush cutters.

These things are sharp enough to cut your finger without squeezing, which is perfect for minis.

My old snips (Klein Tools) literally weren't cutting it anymore and they weren't used that often, so I thought I'd switch brands and try Knipex; glad I did as these work very well and smoothly. Well worth the extra cost!

All cutters offer exceptional sharpness and solid construction.The 6” tie cutter model lacks a spring to assist opening. However the jaw opening is unparalleled and the grip section is terrific for tightening zip ties. It’s flat ground tip was likely chosen to protect the surface beneath a zip tie while cutting. This limits some precision use but makes sense given its intended application. Its head is also angled to allow easy access for flush cuts against walls or in tight spaces.While the KNIPEX offers exceptional quality, the narrow opening jaws severely limit its versatility. However, for the right application the KNIPEX would be great for delicate work in a compact form factor. The grip, spring and precision tip are terrific. The hinge action is unrivaled. For a tradesman tool, the lack of a tip protector or spring lock is a mistake. However, none of these tools offer a lock for transport.Both the 7” and 8” Tsunoda cutters offer the same quality and features with the 8” adding a bolt-stop which can be used to promote blade protection or to execute partial depth cuts. The 8” also offers a slightly larger/longer cutter which could be beneficial for cutting large plastic crate-ties.

Knipex is the best brand out there. These little clippers are no exception. Amazing quality

Great for making flush cuts or in small spaces
