The tool that revolutionized precision cutting. Say goodbye to sharp wire ends, ruined plastic parts, and bulky clippers that can't reach tight spaces. Invented over 40 years ago, the XURON® 170-II is the original, patented Micro-Shear® flush cutter. Unlike standard wire cutters that brutally "pinch" wire in half (leaving a sharp, jagged spike), the 170-II utilizes a bypass shearing method. It cleanly slices through wire and plastic like a pair of high-tech scissors, leaving a perfectly flat, smooth surface every single time.

Why You’ll Love It

• The Perfect Flush Cut: The patented Micro-Shear® technology leaves no sharp spikes behind. Whether you are snipping a jewelry headpin or removing a plastic model part from its sprue, the cut is exceptionally clean and perfectly flush to the surface.

• Ultra-Slim Profile: Designed to reach where other tools simply cannot. The angled, incredibly thin jaws allow you to navigate through dense circuit boards, tight wire-wrapping coils, or intricate model sprues with absolute precision.

• Legendary Durability: Forged from high-carbon steel and heat-treated to a Rockwell hardness of 54-56 Rc, these blades stay razor-sharp through thousands of cuts.

• Ergonomic Hand Saver: Measuring a compact 5 inches, it fits perfectly in the palm of your hand. Featuring Xuron’s famous soft blue rubber grips and a responsive return spring, it makes repetitive snipping entirely effortless.
