Alfa Mirage® 3 PEAKS NIPPERS / EDGE CUTTING NIPPERS SM-01

Pocket-sized design. Heavyweight cutting power. Finding a precision cutter that is small enough for intricate detail work but strong enough to snap through thick core wires is almost impossible—until now. The Alfa Mirage® 3.peaks SM-01 is a pocket-sized powerhouse. Measuring an incredibly compact 100mm, this Japanese-engineered nipper easily slices through solid copper wire up to a massive 1.6mm (14 AWG). Paired with a revolutionary plastic leaf spring, it delivers butter-smooth, fatigue-free cuts for hours on end.

Why You’ll Love It

• The "Pocket Hercules" (1.6mm Capacity): Don't let the tiny 100mm size fool you. While most micro-nippers cap out at 0.8mm, the premium Japanese steel of the SM-01 powers through thick 1.6mm solid copper wire and heavy headpins with a satisfying, effortless snap.

• Revolutionary Plastic Spring: Say goodbye to metal springs that snap, rust, or lose their bounce. 3.peaks developed a high-tech polymer leaf spring that is proven to be 10 times more durable than conventional metal springs, giving you a consistently soft, fluid return action.

• Surgical Flush Cuts: The inner blade geometry is perfectly honed by skilled Japanese craftsmen to deliver an incredibly sharp, clean cut. It leaves wire ends flat and pinch-free, drastically reducing your filing and finishing time.

• Compact 100mm Frame: Weighing just 55 grams and resting perfectly in the palm of your hand, it acts as a direct extension of your fingertips, giving you ultimate micro-control over your jewelry designs or model kits.

• Premium Elastomer Grip: The vibrant red grips are made from a high-quality elastomer resin. It’s soft on the hands, provides a rock-solid non-slip grip, and completely absorbs the shock of cutting thick materials.
