## How to buy

- **Build a cart:** compose `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link?items=TPH-NS-06:1` (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-NS-06:1.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

Precision cutting meets ESD safety in Engineer's NS-06 micro side cutters. These professional-grade cutters feature razor-sharp carbon steel jaws with an adjustable opening angle, making them ideal for intricate PCB work and detailed electronics projects. The unique undercut blade design enables access to confined spaces, while the ESD-safe construction ensures protection for sensitive electronic components.

### Key Features

- Heat-treated carbon steel cutting jaws (HRC 58±4) for exceptional durability
- Full-flush cutting edge for precise component lead trimming
- Adjustable jaw opening gap for enhanced control and reduced fatigue
- ESD-safe construction for protection of sensitive electronics
- Spring-loaded grips with comfort cushioned handles
- Environmentally friendly elastomer grip material
 
### Technical Specifications

- Cutting Capacity: 
    - Solid Copper Wire: Up to 1.2mm diameter
    - Stranded Copper Wire: Up to 2.0mm²
- Material: S58C Carbon Steel
- Handle Material: Oil-resistant ESD-safe elastomer
- RoHS Compliant
 
### How to Use

For optimal performance when working with electronic components, use alongside an [Adafruit Anti-Static ESD Rework Mat](https://core-electronics.com.au/anti-static-esd-rework-mat-with-grounding-clip-a4-size-20cm-x-30cm.html) and an [iFixit Anti-Static Wrist Strap](https://core-electronics.com.au/ifixit-anti-static-wrist-strap.html) to maintain an ESD-safe workspace. The adjustable jaw opening can be set to your preferred width for repetitive cutting tasks, reducing hand fatigue during extended use.

### Recommended Cutting Technique

- Position the cutters perpendicular to the wire or component lead
- Use the full-flush cutting edge for the cleanest cut
- Adjust the jaw opening restrictor for consistent cutting depth
- Maintain clean cuts by regularly wiping the cutting edges
