Overview

A pair of carbon steel cutting jaws does the work in each Hakko cutter, and the handles are alloy steel shaped for the hand. The listing sells them as a set of three.

The reason to buy is a multi pack of small cutters from Hakko, so you can leave one at each bench. The limit is the sparse listing, which gives no wire gauge range or jaw style.

Who it's for

Electronics assembly, craft wire and small repair work suit this size of cutter. If your wire is thick or you need a particular flush cut, check the manufacturer sheet first.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Three cutters in one pack
  • Carbon steel cutting edge
  • Light and easy to carry
Cons
  • Wire gauge range not listed
  • Jaw style not described
  • Handle colors vary

Performance notes

The hardness of carbon steel jaws determines how long the edge cuts cleanly through copper, while the jaw width limits wire thickness. A short handle with an ergonomic grip gives control for fine work but little leverage for large wire.
