Those were of a different design. I used it for over 2 years, I really liked them, but it’s pretty dull now. So I picked these up, and I like ‘em! I see some people saying these just snapped upon cutting a piece of thin plastic or a paperclip, mine have been fine so far (in the past I cut some stuff I shouldn’t have with my old flush cutters/snips, I’ve learned my lesson). I’ve cut thin-ish plastic with them, cut lots of zip ties, excess material off parts, ect, but I’ve only cut metal (like a paperclip) once or twice. So far, the blades of these snips are still pretty sharp, and no noticeable nicks in the blades!These flush cutters function smoothly, have a handy return mechanism (a metal bar that pushes the blades back open when you release it), the blades have an angle to aid cutting in weird/awkward positions and tight spaces, and not to mention the decently soft rubber grips! The grips don’t wiggle or come off eventually like other small plier/flush cutters I’ve used in the past. They won’t cause hand pain, though if you use these cutters for several minutes on end, they could, but why would you be doing that anyway?!BTW I spotted two differences from the product images and the actual product, first off, in the images you see on one side, there’s the exposed hinge/axle thing on the big rivet, that’s not there in the actual product, and that's not a bad or good thing, just an observation. Second, in the images you see “Delcast” in the little square on the grip, in IRL, the little square is blank.My two main uses for this flush cutter is cutting the excess “tail” of zip ties off, it’s cut them 100% flush if you apply a little pressure into the zip tie head, you could use nail clippers or a utility knife instead, but those are slightly harder or more dangerous (respectively), these cutters excel at cutting zip ties, as well as cutting off excess material off parts.Last note, when I bought this product, it was advertised to have a cutting capacity of up to 14 AWG, but now it’s inflated to 12 AWG. 12 AWG wire might be doable, but 14 AWG would be easier. One of my R/C buggy batteries have 14 AWG wires, I’ve attached a picture so you can get an idea of the thickness of a 14 AWG wire. I’m talking about soft wires, not like cables or solid metal pipes. If you’re cutting hard metal that’s decently thick, I *could* see a blade or two snapping off near where they connect to the handle as it’s thinner there, but normal use shouldn’t see that!Overall, I recommend these flush cutters, 5/5! (if they go above $9 or $10 though, maybe look at other options too) ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect for clipping a foot band off a cockatiel, cuticle trimming or plant cutters. *by E***E on Reviewed in the United States on March 19, 2020* I bought these to clip the foot band off my cockatiel. My vet wanted $25 to do it. These worked perfect. They cut through the foot band with surprising ease. The ends are not sharp so you don't have to worry about hurting the bird. They slid very easily under the band. The entire process took about 45 seconds. It took me longer to wrap him in a towel and get him to hold still than it did to clip.In terms of sharpness and design, they're on par with fingernail clippers. They're craft wire cutters, NOT for your tool box. I've seen tools similar at the dollar store. If you think something would put a notch in your nail clippers, it'll do the same to these. I'm personally keeping them to cut dead stems on my plants. They leave a nice clean edge, and are small enough to carry in my pocket. My only complaint is that they don't have a clip to hold them closed.My daughter also uses these to clip her cuticles and nails when she's too lazy to find her nail clippers. They seem to work great for calluses as well. I've heard my son used them for thick foot dead skin as well. Luckily these are also super easy to sanitize!Note: if you're like me and got these for a bird band... Be aware - you WILL have a lot of dry/flakey skin under the band, and you WILL have so much grime in the band that you'll have a permanent horrified face for two days. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Great value, perform slightly above their rating *by D***N on Reviewed in the United States on March 14, 2019* These work great, you get what you pay for, so don't expect super heavy duty, but for cutting plastic and some light-grade metal, these have exceeded my expectations and I'll be buying more. For a small little cutter, they don't seem cheap and work very well for automotive, fishing, general use around the house. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/10680571-delcast-flush-cutter-pliers-12-awg-cutting-capacity](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/10680571-delcast-flush-cutter-pliers-12-awg-cutting-capacity) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-05-15*
