3.Peaks Green Cutter Diagonal Nippers GC-200 / GN-200 / GN-200J

Cut hard wire gauges and trim dense jewelry casting tree sprues with minimal hand pressure. Manufactured in Japan by Three Peaks Giken (3.Peaks), the 3.Peaks Green Cutter & Nipper Series (GC-200 / GN-200 / GN-200J) features a specialized double-pivot compound leverage mechanism that significantly multiplies cutting force while reducing repetitive hand strain.

Forged from tough vanadium alloy steel and induction-hardened to 60–65 HRC, these compound cutters slice through φ4.0mm iron and copper wire, as well as φ1.5mm hard steel wire, without edge chipping. The straight-jaw GC-200 (Green Cutter) provides high-leverage cutting along straight lines, while the GN-200 (Green Nipper) features a 40° angled jaw head designed for clean flush cuts against flat bases and recessed edges. For jewelry manufacturing, the dedicated GN-200J (J-Type) model features a slimmed tip profile engineered to fit between densely clustered casting trees and cleanly snip gold, silver, brass, and platinum sprues at the joint. Every model includes an internal return spring, a sliding handle safety lock, an adjustable blade-gap set screw (compatible with a 7 mm wrench), and lanyard attachment holes in the handles.

Why Choose 3.Peaks Green Compound Cutters & Nippers

• Double-Pivot Compound Action Mechanism: Two fulcrum pivot points maximize mechanical leverage, allowing you to cut thick wire and heavy sprues with a fraction of the grip force needed for conventional pliers.

• Induction-Hardened Vanadium Steel (60–65 HRC): High-toughness Japanese alloy steel retains sharp cutting edges and resists micro-chipping under heavy cutting loads.

• Specialized Casting Tree J-Type Head (GN-200J): Engineered with slim, precision-ground tips that slip into tight spaces between jewelry pieces on casting sprues, removing workpieces flush without gouging master patterns.

• 40° Angled Flush-Cutting Head (GN-200): Angled head provides clear sightlines and easy access when snipping wires close to walls, workbenches, or flat plates.

• Fine-Tuning Blade Adjustment Screw: Integrated set screw allows precise recalibration of blade contact with a 7 mm wrench to ensure clean shear alignment over extended shop use.

• Internal Return Spring & Slide Lock: Smooth spring mechanism reopens handles automatically for faster repetition, while the central sliding lock secures the jaws shut for compact, safe bench storage.

• Pressed Steel Handles with Lanyard Eyelet: Durable green-enameled steel handles feature ribbed palm grip profiles and integrated tether holes for drop-prevention lanyards.
