Customer Reviews for H.K. Porter 8 in. Wire Cutters

Could not cut 1/8" wire rope

Would not cut 3/16 wire after 3 times opened second pair and they would not cut at all

Love the wire cutters

Go figure, the first thing I did with these was misuse them. I had to cut thick, hardened wire that barely fit in the jaws. I had to ape on them with 2 hands and lean into a table. I was out on a service call, and didnt have any other options, and since these were inexpensive it wasnt a big deal if I ruined them. I was shocked that the cutting edge didn't get marred. These a good cutters.

I purchased this to make chainmail rings for a project. So far cutting is very accurate and easy with these cutters. Perfect size for 16 gauge steel wire.

Light weight, worked great

Used to clip insulation hangers. These were perfect for the job.

Work great so far and can't beat the price.

Took item back to the store. It did not cut cable it just smashed the cable. I had 1/8" galvanized cable. Package description said it would cut 1/8".

I was able to make one-handed cuts through 1/8-inch stainless steel cable with no issues.

Simple to use , im very surprise that this tool does not get me tires while in use

I purchased these because I was frustrated trying to make a clean cut through 1/8" stainless steel cable. I had tried two of my shears, and my diagonals with bad results. These cut cleanly, with a minimum of effort. Two thumbs up!

They work great, but you have to be very strong to use them.

Perfect size cutter for small jobs. I'm female and it fits nicely in my small hand. I was drawn to it because it has spring open action. Only issue is it only springs open about 1/2 way but that's still a lot better than those that have no spring open action.

Great tool for many jobs to include Electrical and fencing. They will cut thick wire fencing and they are much better than a traditional wire cutters - I have "Red Brand" fencing and these work great. The design of these make them like a mini bolt cutter so the hinge does most of the work. highly recommended.

Build is okay. Bought them to cleanly cut 5/16"steel rope winch cable... failed miserably.

I am very pleased with this item.

Did the job of cutting chainlink fence but the blades chipped rather easily.
