ENGINEER NZ-05 Full Flush Cut Chip Cutters, 45 Degree Angled Jaws Cutting Pliers for Quick & Easy Removal of ICS (DIL DIP SIP Packages etc.).Made in Japan

Used one of these at work that my coworker had and loved it, so I had to purchase me one. It is extremely sharp, which I needed at work. Functionally perfect for any job where you need these type of clippers. Perfect fit for my hand. The price is worth it.

I have an assembly process where I need to cut some header leads from an existing circuit board. I've been doing this for a few years and have tried every side-cutter option I could get my hands on, from popular high-end names like Knipex and Schmitz, to dental/medical tool suppliers, to just about anything else I could find on Amazon from rando sellers.THESE GUYS WERE THE SOLUTION ALL ALONG and I can finally stop buying snips in the hope that they'll do the job. The cutting head is small and can reach nearly anywhere, and the rest of the tool is rigid enough that you can still apply enough force to the cutting head to cut through a chunky chip lead.These snips are now on my "cold dead hands" list. You will not find a better solution for cutting small things in tight spaces.

Have several tools and scissors from the Engineer line and these are high quality well made tools.

Truly as flush cut, great product.

Nicely made, with jaws that meet up nicely. Works well at it's designed use

These are finest quality Japanese materials and workmanship.

Purchased to remove ESP32-CAM antennae SMD 0403 capacitor when switching from board antennae to IPEX connection.Perfectly aligned jaws. Beware the steel jaw is soft enough to bend if you try to use on solid copper wire over 24 awg or on metal photo-etched 3D models.Bottom Line = Perfect if used as designed, I love these even thought they are very expensive for their limited use.

Didn’t last a whole day
