## Description

The engineer nk-36 diagonal cutters are a heavy duty, durable wire cutting tool ideal for cutting steel and copper wire. Made in Japan.

Review: Japanese engineered snips - Good quality snips made in Japan by Engineer Tools. Very able and capable of cutting steel guages up to 4mm. They're a good size measuring just under 6" in length, they're made from grey tooled steel with frosted rubberized grips. The blades are precise and very sharp and the pivot tight and the jaws are very flush with no visible gap. The cutters on my Channelock Lineman pliers are just as able at making clean cuts, but these are a specific tool just for snipping cleanly and flushly. A little pricy for what they are but worth the extra if you use them for thier intended purpose frequently.
Review: Japanese Quality - Great sharp tool.

Great sharp tool.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very sharp
*by Y***6 on 16 March 2022*

These cutters are sharp, easy to handle and small enough to be used with fine wires. I bought them for jewellery making and they do the job well. The only problem I can find is that they are not retractable, I mean once you cut your wire you have to open them up again manually and that is a bit of a hassle when you are working with both hands, which is what I normally do. Apart of that, they are great cutters.
