What to know before buying
Listing details to confirm
Listing details are inconsistent: the stated dimensions are 16.5L x 5.1W centimetres, while the A+ specifications give a 5" nominal length, 1.94" width and 0.6" height. Listed weights also differ at 5 g and 0.13 Pounds. The page names alloy steel and also describes special tool steel, with handle descriptions varying between alloy/stainless steel and multi-component. Confirm the selected listing's exact configuration and measurements before buying. Cutting capacity is specified separately for soft and medium-hard wire, and should not be treated as interchangeable.
