wirecutter
Severs metal strands
A wirecutter is a tool designed to cut wire, typically with sharp, angled jaws that provide leverage.
Electricians, jewelers, and craftspeople use various sizes for different gauges of wire.
The plural wirecutters often refers to a single tool: Hand me those wirecutters.
The Wirecutter is also a product-review website owned by the New York Times.
