Crescent 8" Heavy-Duty Diagonal Flush Cutting Pliers - Bagged - 5438CENN

I recently bought a hot staple plastic welder and the flush cutting dykes that came with the kit were as brittle as a crispy cookie..... On the no-name brand included with the welder cutting the staples broke off the blade edges with each cut. I tried 15 different brands of diagonal and end cutters trying to get some that were not only strong enough to withstand the hard steel staples but also have a flush cut and all of the others I tried had deeply beveled edges which left an 1/8th inch or more protruding staple after the cut ....These Crescent brand were the best of all I tried...they are not totally flush cutters but their slight bevel on the flat side is less than 1/32nd inch, the edges were strong and not brittle and cut through the hard wire easily with little effort. I noticed other reviews The description does not specifically state ability to cut hard or piano wire and reviews are contradictory in this regard so I am unsure as to that aspect of the cutters but for the metal staples used in plastic welding they work great. I searched for completely flat flush cutters with no grind bevel and the only ones I could find that were both flat flush and tough enough for hard spring wire were from a specialty tool company 'Shor International' out of Switzerland and cost $256

Um respeitável alicate de corte, robusto e com ótimo corte, supera a capacidade a que foi destinado. Mais uma excelente ferramenta da Crescent. Recomendo!

Work great! A bit heavy, but, they do the trick.

I use them to flush cut cage wire, they do a excellent job.

It cuts through everything easily
