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

Couldnt find the lower cost NS-03 model, but this has the same quality. This is the kind of tool that lasts for years.

handy for the work

Excelentes para cortes de metal no tan espeso. He cortado clavos de la clavadora para madera sin que se marque el metal. También pines de más de un mm de espesor en tarjetas electrónicas y hasta el momento el filo es correcto. He probado la una knipex pero no es para el mismo uso y la verdad esta pinza está mejor que la de corte que use de knipex. Veré la forma de adquirir más de esta marca por que soy fan de knipex solo que me ha decepcionado en esta área.

These are simply amazing! They work extremely well and fit nicely in the hand. I am accumulating a collection of these fine tools from Japan and throwing out the Chinese junk that is in my toolbox.

One of the jaws broke on first use when cutting a wire. Ive only applied manual pressure. No abuse no nothing. Quite disappointing.

Good spring action, comfortable and controllable grip. Cuts flush nicely. No way to say how long they will hold up, but they do have a feel of quality.

Quality set of nippers. Very happy with them in my toolbox.

I need these to cut small and big zip ties and tighten new ties. Also sharp enough to the remove insulation from a conductor in small places or even at your moms house.

Best I have ever used. Feels great in hand. Go to tool now. Made in Japan

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.
