## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Maun brand cutters = quality kit
*by A***R on 22 January 2021*

Top build quality and functionality for a reasonable price. Do a much better job and last way longer than any of the cheaper brand alternatives. If you are using them often and want them to last then, without doubt, worth the money.Great for cutting rigid wire, cable ties etc. (Not suitable for catenary wire cable which requires specialist cutters.) These cutters are compact and lightweight and I'd also recommend the Maun brand parallel action pliers with side cutters as similar in quality and functionality as a heavier duty option.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Will they last as long as my previous pair.
*by D***S on 19 February 2021*

I love these wire cutters. I had a pair for well over 20 years and they were great. Easy to use, reliable and effortless. When my old pair broke (i suspect to to the general abuse I gave them) I had to get another pair. The new pair look and feel the same high quality as my old pair and function the same but for a full review you'll have to wait at least another ten years!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent tool.
*by P***. on 14 May 2023*

Not cheap, but cuts 18g piano wire cleanly with ease.
