The Engineer NSX-04 Mini Side Cutters exemplify Japanese precision engineering, offering exceptional cutting performance for electronics and PCB work. These compact side cutters feature heat-treated carbon steel jaws and an innovative stopper pin design that enhances productivity while reducing hand fatigue during repetitive cutting tasks.

Key Features

Premium heat-treated S58C carbon steel construction (HRC 58±4)
Precise full-flush cutting edge for clean component trimming
Integrated jaw opening stopper pin for consistent operation
Spring-loaded handles with ergonomic cushioned grips
Cutting capacity: 1.2mm solid copper wire, 2.0mm stranded copper wire
Compact form factor ideal for detailed PCB work
ROHS compliant Japanese manufacturing

How to Use

For optimal results when using the NSX-04 mini side cutters, position the cutting edges perpendicular to the wire or component lead. The stopper pin mechanism automatically limits jaw opening to the optimal position, ensuring consistent cuts while reducing operator fatigue. These cutters excel when paired with an anti-static work mat for protecting sensitive components during PCB assembly.

Important: These cutters are specifically designed for copper wire and electronic component leads. Do not use them for cutting steel wire, piano wire, or guitar strings, as this may damage the cutting edges.
