PL42175P = Xuron Flush Cutting Maxi Shear with Pink Handles

Xuron: The Brand
Some companies make pliers. Xuron makes people wonder why they ever used anything else. Proudly made in Maine, USA, Xuron built its reputation on an ingenious bypass cutting design that works more like a pair of scissors than a pair of side cutters. The result is less effort, cleaner cuts, and tools that just feel right in your hand. Their Micro-Shear® cutters have been a favorite of jewelers, electronics technicians, and model makers for decades because they do one job exceptionally well, and they keep doing it.

About the Xuron 2175 Maxi-Shear™ Flush Cutter
Around here, this is the cutter that cuts nearly every piece of wire we sell. If we're trimming sterling, copper, brass, or gold-filled wire before it heads out the door, chances are it's meeting a pair of 2175s.

The larger cutting head and longer handles give you plenty of leverage for heavier gauges while still producing the clean flush cuts Xuron is famous for. It's equally happy making one cut or a few hundred, which is probably why ours spends more time in our hands than in the tool drawer. Just remember that it's designed for soft wire.  Feed it hardened steel or memory wire and you'll shorten the life of a very good cutter.
