Japanese Type Fine Tip Side Cutter, 11cm PYS563

These pliers are designed for advanced hobbyists, professionals, and anyone who appreciates high-quality tools. Pliers are manufactured in a wide range of sizes. This 11 cm (4") series is just the size preferred by jewellers — comfortable to hold and easy to handle.

Craft pliers of this design are very popular in Asian countries with strong beading and jewellery-making traditions, such as Japan, Hong Kong, Taiwan and China. The pliers fit comfortably in the hand — they are lightweight, have a slim construction and are ideal for precision work. A strong, solid rivet holds the two halves firmly together, preventing play in the joint.

Type: Extra-fine precision side-cutting pliers for medium- and low-hardness wire (e.g. aluminium, copper, bronze, gold, silver and softer grades of steel). (Semi-Flush Cutter). The sharp, finely finished tips allow highly precise cutting and notching.

IMPORTANT! Memory wire is made of extra-hard steel and requires special cutters (Memory Wire Shears)! Always use tools for their intended purpose. Remember the rule: once a precision tool is damaged, it is permanently damaged.

Maintenance: Once a year, apply a drop of oil to the joint and open and close the handles 10–15 times. Then wipe away the dirty oil. This simple maintenance will help preserve the pliers' working precision for many years.
