a little disappointed
I know I’m comparing apples to oranges here but I think this is a know before you buy issue.I understand these are lightweight, light duty cutters but I bought them to put in an off-road tool kit for emergency situations. Sometimes, when in such situations, one must ask a tool to go beyond its design limitations. These Igance cutters only open to 3/16”, while my old Xcelite cutters open to a full 3/4”. I have, in the past, had to nibble through a heavy gage wire and the old reliable Xcelite cutters have gotten the job done. You may ask why I don’t carry a large pair of end cutters, weight. I try to keep the dune buggy as light as possible, and space is limited.All that said, if you want these cutters for light electronic work they should be OK.
Thank you for your feedback

4.0 out of 5 stars Feels good, cuts fine for my purposes
Reviewed in the United States on May 18, 2022
They seem to work fine for my application. I was looking to get a small pair of cutters to keep with my networking tools, (Network Crimpers, ends, strippers, testers), and it seems to cut the internal twisted pairs of a cat 5 and cat 6 cable just fine. Mine have not broke since using them but I haven't really used them with other gauges yet or intend to. My only complaint is I wish the cutting surface was just slightly longer, otherwise they are fine for the money spent.

Reviewed in the United States on March 16, 2024
The feel of these is wonderful. Nice and soft. I liked the spingyness. However, as you can see from the photos, the metal blades are super soft. You can almost count how many times I cut with these- maybe 7 times. Not even useful as a paperweight and throwing them away as the return window has passed. Regrettably, can't recommend.
