I use it for copper wires, but not thicker than 1mm (17-18AWG) **Q: what is the cutting capacity for brass, stainless, and music wire?** A: Copper wire only or similar. **Q: can these be used to cut came lead?** A: I wouldn't use these for that. You could probably use these if you tried hard enough, but you probably want a pair of snips that are larger than these. These snips are more for cutting small wires. **Q: Will these cut steel jewelry wire?** A: These are not mini bolt cutters. They are wire cutters. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by S***A on 1 April 2025* Utensile di ottima fattura, resistente ed efficace ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by 雑***人 on 24 December 2025* パソコン内のケーブルタイなどを切るのに使っています。 小回りが利くサイズで、刃も垂直なのできちんと処理出来ます。 切れ味も良く、開き具合の調整も可能でグリップもしっかりしているので、 良いニッパーだと思います。 ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by F***T on 11 May 2019* Petite pince coupante de très grande qualité. Usinage super précis: pas de filet de lumière qd vous refermez la pince sans appuyer. Le point principal intéressant par rapport à d'autres marques de qualité c'est que la coupe est vraiment à ras. Il n'y a pas de petit chanfrein côté extérieur. Un autre point que je trouve agréable ce sont les branches assez minces avec leur revêtement.
