## How to buy

- **Build a cart:** compose `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link?items=TPH-NSX-04:1` (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-NSX-04:1.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

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](https://core-electronics.com.au/anti-static-esd-rework-mat-with-grounding-clip-a4-size-20cm-x-30cm.html) 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.
