wire cutters
Metal strand clippers
Wire cutters are a hand tool with opposing blades designed to cut through wire.
The handles provide leverage while sharp, hardened edges meet to shear metal cleanly: I need the wire cutters to trim this fence.
Different types handle different gauges—from delicate electronics work to heavy chain-link.
Also called wire snips or diagonal cutters.
