Engineer has been manufacturing high-quality Japanese precision tools since 1948. If you're looking for the very best precision hand tools for your projects - look no further. Check out our full range of Engineer tools here!

The Engineer NS-04 are ESD safe professional-grade compact side cutters/snips with an angle adjuster. Quite simply the best side-cutters we've ever used! Lightweight with a sharp full-flush cutting edge and sprung action these are an essential tool for any electronics project.

When we first got a sample of these we were blown away at how precise and well-engineered they feel. The action is super smooth with a great spring balance and the cutting edge is brilliantly sharp.

Features

• Compact sized - ideal for precise PCB & electronics work, hobbyists, craftwork etc.
• Outstanding sharp cutting jaws (heat-treated carbon steel) for excellent cutting performance & durability
• Full-flush cutting edge designed for precise cutting of electronic components, copper wire, and soft component lead wires
• Spring-loaded grips for easy operation (strap holes at end of handles)
• Jaw opening gap 'adjuster' (this restricts how far jaws open up when grips are released) -enhances productivity & less hand fatigue for repetitive cutting work
• Oil resistant comfort-cushioned grips (made from environmentally friendly elastomer)
