## How to buy

- **Build a cart:** compose `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link?items=TPH-NZ-12G:1` (comma-separated SKU:qty pairs) and share the link. Opening it shows a confirmation page with live pricing and stock before anything is added to the cart.
- **Verify the cart first:** fetch `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link/TPH-NZ-12G:1.md` for live line prices (inc & exc GST, quantity discounts applied), stock and dispatch estimates, and totals. Append `/to/{AU-postcode}` (or `/to/{country-code}:{postcode}`) before `.md` for delivery options and prices to that destination. Unknown, retired, or out-of-stock SKUs are flagged. (Query form `cart/link.md?items=...` also works but some robots parsers refuse query strings here.)
- **Checkout** is completed on-site and includes a captcha at the payment step. Share the cart link; checkout takes it from there.
- **Search the catalogue:** `https://core-electronics.com.au/search/{query}.md` (URL-encode the query; pages 2-3 at `search/{query}/{page}.md`; `search.md?q=` also works)

## Description

Experience precision PCB component trimming with the Engineer NZ-12G flush cutting pliers, featuring ultra-fine 0.3mm tips and an innovative parallel grip design. These professional-grade snips excel at trimming component leads while protecting delicate solder joints, making them essential for electronics assembly and rework tasks.

### Key Features

- Ultra-precise 0.3mm tip points for working with narrow pitch QFP & SOP components
- Ergonomic parallel grip design enables horizontal PCB positioning
- ESD-safe thermoplastic elastomer handles prevent static damage
- Spring-loaded mechanism reduces hand fatigue during repetitive tasks
- Cutting capacity of 0.6mm copper wire
- Lightweight construction at just 45g
- Premium S55C Carbon Steel construction
- RoHS compliant and manufactured in Japan
 
### How to Use

Position the NZ-12G parallel to the PCB surface using the ergonomic grip design. The ultra-fine tips allow precise alignment with component leads, while the parallel cutting action ensures a clean, flush cut without damaging nearby solder joints. For optimal results, pair with an [anti-static work mat](https://core-electronics.com.au/anti-static-esd-rework-mat-with-grounding-clip-a4-size-20cm-x-30cm.html) and [adjustable PCB holder](https://core-electronics.com.au/fully-adjustable-pcb-clamp-holder-pros-kit-sn-390-abs.html) to create an efficient and safe workspace.
