These precision cutters are designed specifically for cutting all spring wire and needle springs and are far superior to standard type wire cutters.
Conventional wire cutters utilize a compression type cut, with the advancing cutting edges forcing the metal of the wire out of their way. The force of this compression is evident: when the wire is severed - the tag end goes shooting off across the room and the remaining spring gets driven back toward the post (sometimes even dislodging itself from the post). This same compression action is also responsible for leaving the finished cut end squashed and distorted.
Our Spring Cutters work by shearing the wire, a condition that greatly reduces the force and mechanical shock of the cut. Only about half of the effort is needed for the cut as compared to conventional cutters and the unique jaw design actually grips and holds the wire on both sides of the cut - before, during, and after the cut is made. No flying pieces of wire or dislodging of springs from the posts. Easily cuts wire material up to .062" (1.6mm) in diameter, leaving the finished edge round with no distortion.
And the compact size of our Spring Cutters makes cutting heavy springs in tight places much easier than standard cutters. A precision made tool that comes with a lifetime warranty.
