Their compact, slender head fits tight spaces, while ergonomic, ESD-compliant cushioned grips and a jaw opening stopper minimize hand fatigue, making them ideal for professionals in injection molding, electronics, and detailed model work.

## Description

The NP-05 are plastic nippers, their compact size (and tapered/slender head) makes them ideal for use in restricted spaces and with small parts in general. The NP-05 have very sharp and durable high carbon steel jaws. Their design makes them ideal for removing sprue and clean cutting and trimming various plastic injection moulded pin point gates (they cut plastic gates up to 3.0mm diameter). These cutters can also be used to cut light gauge copper wire (up to 2.0mm diameter). These cutters are equipped an opening angle side stopper and have spring loaded comfort grip handles.
