        Answer This Question

        They will, but if you’re making the cut numerous times I would get a bigger set.  Less stress on the hand.

                    Yes. I've used them to cut zip ties and to shape plastic shims.

                    By|May 5, 2023

                      Yes. They can be used to cut many different things. The package didn't say anything about hardened wire and I haven't used these for that, so I can't say whether they would be able to do so without damaging the pliers.

                      By|May 5, 2023

                        Yes. They will cut small nails, wire, plastic, string, or etc.

                              Klein blue handle diagonal cutters cut hard metals without damage to cutting edge, while their red handle cutters are only adequate for copper.

                                    Unfortunately, there is no indication on the packaging or on the Milwaukee website as to what these cutters will cut. I only intend to use them to cut copper and soft metal, so I expect these to meet my needs. If you need to cut harder wire, you may want to look at mini-bolt cutters or other brand cutters designed to cut piano wire and other harder metals.

                                        Not true "flush cuts"
                                        These say "Flush Cuts" on the package. They're not. When I got them home and opened them up, it's clear to see that the cutting edge is angled on both sides. It's impossible to get a "flush cut." I have true flush cutters for electrical wire. The marketing for these is misleading.

                                        Hi, Shane. We appreciate you sharing your feedback. It sounds like the pliers did not deliver the flush‑cut performance described on the packaging. Our team will reach out to you via email to help.
                                          Not Worth $20 Get Something Else
                                          Bought these for low voltage work and would recommend you spend your money on even the cheapest of alternatives. Brand new these struggle to cut through more than 2 14 awg 2 pair solid core cables and when held up to light sure enough there is a visible gap where the cutting edges don't meet up. The exaggerated curve in the handles makes them uncomfortable to work with for long periods and when combined with the poor edge sharpness (that gets worse in as little as 4 months) leads to hand fatigue. TLDR: These are garbage at $20. Buy Klein or if you want to save money just get the husky brand ones.

                                              Almost enough to just say it is a Milwaukee
                                              I've purchased and received from seeds a large variety of Milwaukee hand tools in the last year. They have exceeded my expectations in every way. Their designers are taking the time to make sure a tool is as useful as possible. The cutting edge is sharp, and cuts with little effort. It takes much less effort of other diagonal cutters of the same size I tried. As you can see in the picture included, there are textured edges on the back side handle and on the outside of the cutting edges. The back side is useful as a crude pliers. This is designed for helping to pull fish tape, with the cutters already in your hand. It works well for that. The outside edge works as a reamer. I found these are great for hitting the inside of conduit to take the edge off. It just gives a little more piece of mind without having to pull up another tool. Less tools on the belt, more chance you pants stay up. ;) The other feature that these have over many diagonal cutters is the cutting edge flush with the side. This allows for flush cutting, rather than just close to flush. They are more expensive than other diagonal cutters. And they are worth it.

                                              Sharp cutters
                                              They finally fixed the problem. Their old cutters did not close all the way at the tip so trying to cut things sometimes was hard. They also have a very comfortable grip on them. The head also has a pipe reamer on it. Great set of pliers that are very sharp.
