The arched shaft design is actually a double-edged thing—it gives you better but reduces clearance in tight spots, so if you’re working inside a bezel or behind a jump ring, you might find it a bit crowded.
We’ve had users who tried hardened steel wire with these, and the 55HRC blade just isn’t up for that; they’re better suited for soft metals like copper, brass, or sterling silver sheet up to roughly 0.8mm thick.
Your 140mm overall length means you’re not going to fatigue your hand after 20 cuts, and PVC-dipped handles actually provide a decent grip even if your fingers are slightly oily—though we usually recommend wiping them down before use.
The chrome-plated #50 carbon steel body is fine for most to say, but if you’re flux-coated wire or anything acidic, it’ll start showing surface oxidation within a few weeks; just keep them dry.
capasity is listed as 3-42mm, but that’s the jaw opening, not teh materail thickness—most buyers find it cuts best on 20-gauge or thinner, and the fine-polished stainless blade holds an edge for about 300-400 cuts before it needs sharpening.
We’ve got stock on the PT1014 in standard packaing (usually 50 units per carton), and OEM customiztion is available if you need a specific handle color or branding—lead time is typically 15 working days or so, but confirm that with us.
We can start with 500 units for OEM orders, but if you need a smaller batch for testing, just reach out and we can discuss it.
For a standard bulk order, lead time is around 30-45 days after confirmation. If you're in a rush, we can often speed it up for an additional fee.
Yes, we can supply a material certificate for the stainless steel blade and #50 carbon steel body, plus a hardness test report for the 55HRC blade. Just let us know what you need.
No, that's a range for different wire gauges; the max cutting thickness is about 2.5mm for hard wire and 3.5mm for soft wire. The 42mm refers to the length of the cutting edge, not the diameter.
Keep them in a dry environment, ideally in a tool roll or box. The chrome plating helps resist corrosion, but if they get wet, wipe them dry to keep the #50 carbon steel body in top shape.
