Mini cutters
Engineer mini side cutters are exactly what I wanted when I ordered it. The build and quality is great. They are super sharp. Engineer products are of good quality making it easy for me to purchase something from this Japanese company. So far I have three different cutters being used at work that I have purchased. Will purchase again from this company.

high quality
very nice and can be used as flush cutters. Definitely professional grade, these have been used on many wiring projects and stay sharp. Highly recommend

Extremely high quality
Engineer makes some of the nicest, high-quality pliers I've ever seen or used. Everything lines up perfectly, and they function very smoothly. They cut precisely and are extremely sharp. I'm definitely buying more Engineer pliers, especially the Neji-saurus line. I don't expect to ever have a problem with these little cutters.

Perfect for IT work except you’ll lose it.
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 put neon green heat shrink on these. You’ll see 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.

Great Side Cutters
These are my favorite micro side cutters/nippers. They feel good in the hand and are made of quality steel (at least quality enough to hold an edge with repeated use). I have broken other (cheaper) micro nippers but have yet to break a set of these. These are well worth the price.

Super sharp flush cutters. Watch you eyes!
These Japanese-made flush/side cutters are a testament to high-quality craftsmanship. Their precision and sharpness are truly impressive, making short work of trimming excess legs on PCB components. However, it's worth noting that their sharpness and efficiency come with a caveat: when cutting certain materials, they can eject tiny metal fragments with considerable force. To ensure safety, it's essential to point them in a safe direction, away from yourself and others, when making cuts. In a commercial setting, it's highly advisable to wear protective eye gear as a precaution against potential flying debris. These cutters are an invaluable tool for precision work, but their power demands responsible handling to make the most of their capabilities while prioritizing safety.
