Another brand to avoid

Jenna 04.08.2020

Ugly, clunky and blunt... these useless side cutters basically crush the string as they are so blunt... and if you can muster enough brute force to crush your way through a wound string, you are left with a nast6 little protruding sharp edge on which to cut yourself.

Terrible tool. Waste of money for luthiery work.

Does its job

GoWithTheFloat 11.08.2018

This is a neat addition to your collection of maintenance-equipment. Its very cheap, and a small investment that will make your life easier when your done changing strings or have a floating bridge that requires the ends of the strings to be clipped off. No need to be lazy and keep your strings uncut at the headstock with this tool!

Qualitywise I have nothing to complain about. This cutter serves one purpose and it does it well regardless of gauge. Very good to have one and you know it is too!

It gets the job done

Magnus T 31.10.2025

They're alright, and get the job done. You need to cut some strings? These will do it. BUT - they are not as strong as described.
In the description it said that it can cut the deep B-string on bass "easily", but it takes some force to actually do it.
It's not perfect on thinner strings either. After cutting even guitar strings, I still had to jiggle/move the cutter around a bit, for the two string-pieces to separate. But as mentioned, it will definitely cut through the strings, just not as well as other string cutters

Good handing, clean cuts

Hendrik6823 01.04.2014

Great price-performance-ratio and a basic tool for guitarists and bass players.
The cutter is bigger than what I expected from the picture, but still easily fits guitar cases and gigbags. The size contributes to a great handling and firm grip.

Compared to common wire cutters from the hardware store, this one is equally sharp but gives you very clear cuts on the thinner as well as on the thicker strings. So there are no pointy leftovers sticking out your tuners. It cuts like a hot knife throgh butter.
The only slightly negative aspect: Since a spring keeps the cutter open, I used a rubber band on the handles to keep it closed and fit my gigbag pocket better.

Great overall quality and definite recommendation.
