KNIPEX - 78 61 140 Tools - Electronic Super Knips XL, Multi-Component (7861140), 5.5-Inch

Excellent qiuality snips. No sharp nose makes it particalarly useful as it wouldn't rip your pockets. The only downside is that it doesn't open wide enough for cutting 1.5mm 3-core flex cable.

I’ve been using the KNIPEX Electronics Super Knips mostly for trimming zip ties, little plastic bits, and fine wires around my desk/setup, and they’re kind of ridiculous in how clean they cut. The blades line up perfectly and give a true flush cut—zip ties disappear instead of leaving that sharp little fang that slices your hand open later. They also slip into tight spots easily; the head is small and the tips are super precise, so it’s easy to get right up against a surface. The handles are way more comfortable than they look. The spring action is light, so you can sit there doing a ton of tiny cuts without your hand getting tired. They feel solid and “premium” in that Knipex way—no slop in the pivot, no flex in the jaws. Couple of caveats: these are delicate precision cutters, not general-purpose wire cutters. They’re perfect for small copper leads, zip ties, and plastic, but I wouldn’t use them on steel wire, thick cable, or anything you’d normally reach for a bigger pair of cutters for—you’ll ding the cutting edge and hate yourself. There’s also no lock to keep them closed in a drawer, so they just kind of sit open unless you store them carefully. If you need a precision cutter for electronics work, cable management, or cleaning up small plastic parts, these are absolutely worth the money. Just treat them like a scalpel, not a bolt cutter.

Exactly as expected. High quality, precise enough for clean cuts for my needs.

Pricey but there's nothing like it. That said if you don't need the extra insulation stick with the hakkos.
