Plato 170 Flush Cutter Blue Wire Cutter for Electronics & 3D Printing

The Plato 170 Flush Cutter is a handy wire-cutting tool for electronics and general maker applications. Designed for precision work, it can cut copper wire up to 18 AWG, making it suitable for many common PCB, wiring, and electronic assembly tasks.

Its spring-return mechanism automatically brings the handles back to the open position after cutting, helping reduce effort during repetitive work. The compact flush-cutter profile also makes it easier to access wires and component leads in relatively tight spaces.
