ENGINEER NS-04 Precision Side Cutters Micro Nippers, Professional Grade, Made in Japan, ESD Safe with Hardened Carbon Steel Jaws

Love these, ordered another pair to put in my toolbox and in my desk.

best nippers in the entire world. not even a molecule of gap between the lil nippy blades.

Price and quality is the best.

These work great! I bought these because the multinational world class employer I work for only supplies cheap tools so they can pad their bottom line. Since I am a wage slave that works 10 hour days, I decided to increase my comfort at my own expense. These cut well and make electronic assembly easier.

worked as advertised

Well I have found my new favorite pair of cutters! These cut UTP like butter and tbh I laughed like a crazy person when I used these for the first time. So far everything Ive gotten from ENGINEER has been amazing. I like that I can adjust the distance the cutters open, and that it has spots for a lanyard connection.

AS YET NOT USED MUCH BUT APPEARS TO BE TOP QUALITY

Theyre plenty sharp. The handles are comfortable. Well see how they hold up over time, but it seems like a good purchase for the price.

Perfect size. Flush cut great for cutting zip ties, eliminating sharp excess to cut you. Love the handle with tether attaching hole, no more poking holes in clothes carrying and using in cramped quarters.

I cut wire ties and category cable regularly to install RJ45 connectors working in racks. I have been using the very good crescent 4” nips found at Home Depot for a long time. Same as the excelite. As usual going job to job I lose them once in a while and decided to search for something better. Looked at knipex, bought a few others that were quite pricey. I don’t buy cheap ones anymore outside the crescent. Wasn’t sure if this would make a nice clean straight cut as the top of the unit looks slightly curved. It makes perfect, flush, sharp cuts of 8 conductors of ethernet. It has an incredibly sharp cut and makes a nice “snap” instead of a “mush” of any sort as you cut. As good as anything I’ve tried and it’s $20. It’s pretty awesome. Handle has a nice feel, it’s got some nice give. Only 2 complaints: 1. While I actually like the black handle aesthetic, I want my tools neon. You’re working, you place it on a black rack shelf or the ground… you’ll never find black again. It’s the worst color for working in the field. Give me neon green or orange and I’m happy. 2. Working very close to some white walls or shelving, the handle touched the white surfaces and left black marks. Like the soles of a black shoe on a basketball court. I managed to get them off, but… my others never did this. These are minor complaints overall for a tool that just feels right. If you’re a pro, you’ll understand what I mean by “feel”. Many tools do the same job but your favorite one always feels good to use for a dozen reasons. This is one of those. I recommend. If someone from Engineer reads this, please put a neon stripe on the handle or offer another color. It’s too small and easy to lose. I can’t even find it in my tool pouch as easily. Anyway I bought two… because I already know someone else will find a free tool at some point. I had to but neon green heat shrink for these. You’ll the photo of black handles versus green on something black. Inside racks it’s often dark, and all components and rack shelves are black. Please change the color.
