This ad is for 1 x Professional grade PCB side snips (also referred to as side cutters, nippers etc). 

The manufacturer (ENGINEER® , Japan) have categorised these as 'micro nippers' & whilst these are compact cutters, we wouldn't deem them  'micro' sized (they are a bit smaller versus what would be called standard sized PCB type cutters ...but are actually of a size that actually sit very well in the hand (if you seek what we'd deem 'micro' sized nippers, then we also sell the sibling ENGINEER NS-06, which have the same look & features, but are smaller). 
  • compact sized - ideal for precise PCB & electronics work, hobbyists, craft work etc.
  • jaws specially designed for flush cutting of electronic components, copper wire, and soft component lead wires
  • constructed from heat treated carbon steel for outstanding cutting performance & durability
  • angle opening adjuster - sets how wide jaws open when grips released (enhances productivity + less hand fatigue wrt repetitive cutting work)
  • ESD safe comfort grips, constructed from oil resistant thermoplastic elastomer
  • spring loaded grips to help avoid hand fatigue during repetitive cutting work
  • strap holes at end of handles
  • cutting capacity : solid copper wire 2.6mm (φ dia.), stranded copper wire 3.5mm² 
  • material : S58C Carbon Steel (Hardness: HRC 58±4)
  • made in Japan (ROHS Compliant)

Please note: these pliers have an ultra sharp edge, but they are not for designed for cutting steel wire (piano wire, guitar strings etc)....they are designed for cutting PCB components, copper wire etc.

Also available, are the lower cost ENGINEER NSX-04 nippers, which actually have the same frame/jaws as the NS-04 detailed above, but they don't have an angle opening adjuster nor are the grips 'ESD' (they have a simpler soft grip handle)

(matching ENGINEER PS-01, PS-03 & PS-04 pliers are also available to buy from our Ebay shop)
