8 Best Wire Cutters

Key Specs

• Max Cutting Capacity: N/A
• Size: 6 inches

These Boenfu cutters are designed to cut through coat hangers, artificial flower stems, and plastics—in addition to traditional wiring—making them well-suited for crafting and decorating hobbyists. Their orange handles make them easy to identify, and also feature a rubber grip that allows you to maintain maximum control while you cut.

These rubber handles, combined with the manageable 7.6-ounce weight, make this set comfortable to use for those all-day projects. While the six-inch length is convenient for transport and storage, this set is also available in a larger size for more heavy-duty tasks.
