PL49200P = Xuron Tapered Head Flush Cutting Micro 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 9200 Tapered Head Micro-Shear® Flush Cutter
Sometimes you need a cutter that can sneak into places your regular flush cutters simply can't reach. That's where the Xuron 9200 shines.

Its slender tapered head slips into tight spaces around stone settings, jump rings, and intricate wire work while still delivering the clean, flush cuts that made Xuron famous. The patented Micro-Shear® action slices through soft wire instead of crushing it, leaving a smooth end with minimal cleanup. Strong enough to trim prongs and cut soft wire up to 14 gauge, it's one of those tools that seems to migrate to the front of the bench because you keep reaching for it. Just remember, it's a precision cutter, keep hardened wire and memory wire far away.

FDJtool Tip: Every jeweler eventually ends up owning two kinds of cutters: the good ones for precious metal and soft wire, and the sacrificial ones for that mystery piece of hardened steel. The trick is making sure they aren't the same pair.
