Highlights

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Quality

Great tool works well and is built well.

These are nice, good quality and nice thick grips.

These work great but with heavy use on wire and cable ties, eventually one side of the cutters will break off.

First pair is going strong after 3 years, bought second pair as back up and for when i need a razor sharp tool.

Price

They're a bit pricey for what they are, but it's worth it to have the right too for the job.

I think this might be resolved with their red-handled version, but they're about twice the price.

Shipping

Arrived on time and the price was right.

Packaging/appearance

The cutters i received had blue handles.

Competitiveness

I've tried other brands and this is simply the best.

Fun fact - literally identical to the crescent brand found at home depot.

Is identical to orange cutters sold by crescent.
