Heavy Duty Hard Wire Cutters with Tungsten Carbide Jaws, 130 mm
These heavy-duty wire cutters are engineered for precise cutting of hard wires. The 130 mm body is forged from clinical-grade stainless steel, offering excellent corrosion resistance and control. The cutting edges are not simply hardened steel; they are tungsten carbide (TC) inserts, providing a significantly harder and more durable surface for a clean cut on tough materials, time after time.
Designed for professional environments, the entire instrument is fully autoclavable, ensuring it can be sterilised to meet clinical hygiene standards. The robust construction and specialist jaws make it a reliable tool for demanding cutting tasks where standard pliers would fail or become damaged.
Use cases include:
- Trimming hard orthodontic archwires in a dental lab.
- Cutting small-gauge steel pins and rods for model engineering.
- Working with hard-temper jewellery wire, such as stainless steel or memory wire.

Is this the right tool for you?
Best for
- UK dental technicians trimming hard orthodontic archwires
- Model engineers cutting small-gauge steel pins and rods
- Jewellers working with hard temper wire like stainless steel
Not for
- Cutting thick steel cable or bolts – use dedicated bolt cutters
- General purpose soft wire cutting – standard side cutters are more suitable
- Use as a prying tool – the jaws are for cutting only
