The way the cutter portion of
these pliers is configured will not allow you to do this. I have
also tried some long handled flush cutters. They give a good
flush cut up to 12 g wire, but, it drives me to distraction to
be cutting wire such a long distance away from my fingers. So
that’s the story on why I love the micro-bevel cutters by
Lindstrom.
The pliers on the bottom are
flush cutters by Sandvik-Lindstom (#8141). They will cut up to
16 g wire and fit oh so beautifully in the palm of your hand.
You hardly know you are holding a pair of pliers with these cuties.
lower pair of flush cutters can be used on wire up to 16 gauge
and are ideal for fine work (16 g wire for me is “finer”
work). I use these cutters a lot.
Please take good care of your
pliers. Don’t overstress them by using a heavier gauge wire
than is recommended by the manufacturer. Oil the joint once in
a while. Also, don’t use them to cut steel. Or paper, or
other weird things. |
