Wire cutters, also called cable cutters, are versatile hand tools designed to cut a range of soft and heavy-duty cables and wires. Beyond cutting wires, wire cutters can cut a variety of small metal rods, rings, jewellery makings, and other tasks. These handheld tools come with ergonomic handles and sharp blades made of hardened steel for precision cuts and durability. A wire cutter also comes as an insulated model for safe electrical work, making it a versatile tool similar to other tools like pliers, cutters, wire strippers, and scissors. Our wire and cable cutters are sourced from leading brands like Wiha, Knipex Tools, Apex Tool Group, and others, ensuring precision cuts across a range of cables, wires, and other materials.
