Choosing the Right Snipper for Your Needs

  • Consider material to cut: for copper wire below 1.5mm, any of the above will suit; for harder wires, check hardness rating.
  • Handle ergonomics: for extended cutting sessions, softer grips and angled jaws help reduce fatigue.
  • Precision tip: select finer tips for PCB lead trimming, broader for heavier gauge work.
