Diagonal cutters are great to have around – these are typically used for trimming those leftover bits off through hole components once they have been soldered in place – but they can be used for trimming wire, zip ties, and other plastics, soft metals, etc.

These are a very basic set of cutters, so if you are looking for something a little more durable, our Hakko CHP-160 Flush Cutters are an excellent upgrade!
