has anyone found a pair of side cutters that will cut just 0.5mm piano wire ?
I have tried several advertised as hard wire cutters and they do cut but also dent the blades so you dont get many chances before the blades are wrecked.
I know its a sign of the times, when in Engineering i had a pair of cut anything side cutters that i had for 35 years, today they are all made in India or China and completely useless, even good brand UK names are now made in china and dont cut hard wire.
I get that the thinner the blade the weaker but this is only .5mm or .012" and i need accuracy so bolt croppers wont do![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
