Review: Nothing short of extraordinary! - When the Japanese set out to make something, quality really does seem to be the priority. They build up to a standard rather than down to a price. I'm an engineer/machinist and a huge tool nerd and a can honestly say these are nothing short of beautiful! The fit and finish is flawless! The jaws are truly sharp and the edges meet perfectly. Very clean cut on plastics and they're perfect for cutting off the excess on zip ties as they don't leave any jagged bits of plastic behind. They're fine for copper too but not really their intended purpose. Perfect for model makers. The blocky over moulded handles are surprisingly comfortable and the machining is absolutely perfect! Every single edge has been chamfered so as not to be sharp but the bevels are so incredibly fine, you almost can't see them with the naked eye! You can however feel them. Frankly, I'm at a loss as to how they make any profit at these prices!! World class stuff! I'll be going to this brand for all my small pliers. Engineer is the manufacturer responsible for Vamplier products which are equally well made. Beautiful!!
Review: Perfect for Pyro and James bond style bomb disarming - I have been using the snips for a week now and I absolutely love them. Really good quality and half the price of the knipex micro's. Although a week after I bought them the algorithm's got to work and was offering Knipex for £20. I will be buying other versions of this brand as they are really really nice. I will report back if anything negative happens but I don't think Ill need to. Apparently actually made in Japan

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Quality Cutter - at a snip
*by J***N on 27 May 2021*

Product : Micro-nipper side cutter NP-05 By : ENGINEER Price paid : Just over £17 Delivery : On time Condition : New Other : ESD safe Good points : To summarise - everything. To be specific :- A relatively large mass of carbon steel to give stability but cut, ground and presumably lapped to give precision cutting edges. The handles are covered with a soft, electrostatically safe grip that fits snugly in the hand. The side cutter jaws are connected together by a flush ground pin. There is no play in the pin either side to side or up and down. No sharp edges or burrs anywhere on the cutters - except where the sharp edges should be of course. The build quality is typical Japanese high grade precision. When I first opened the side cutters I was not sure that they would do the job they were advertised as being able to do - to precisely cut plastic model parts off the sprue without ruining the part - among other things. They managed the job with ease, as good as, if not better than a scalpel because the scalpel flexes where these cutters don't. Bad points : None, and I don't think there will be - they look like they will last forever. Excellent value for money. Would definitely purchase again.
