Review: Great for cutting zip ties! - Sharp blades. Great for cutting off the excess plastic strip of a zip tie so it’s flush. I didn’t realize these are exactly the same flush cutters that came in a George L cable kit I bought at least 20 years ago. I use those to cut instrument cable flush for solderless cables. Those flush cutters are still working great. So I expect these will last a while too. Nice cutters. Easy to use. Sharp accurate cuts. Review: Nice Tool - We use these with a group of students. They are easy to hold and have a nice flush cut. They are not expensive, and offer a nice option for beginners. ## Features - Flush-cut micro soft-wire cutter has 8mm long jaw with angled head for flush-cutting applications on up to 16 gauge (1.3mm) copper and soft wire - 21-degree reverse angled cutting surface enables terminal wires to be cut, leaving a 1.5mm stand-off - 2.5mm heat-treated carbon steel construction provides durability and long life - Precision-ground holes and surfaces provide smooth movement, and spring returns tool to open position to reduce operator fatigue.82. - Dolphin-style nonslip hand grips with curved fore-edge provide comfort and control, and Parkerized surfaces prevent glare and increase corrosion resistance. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00FZPDG1K | | Best Sellers Rank | #5,770 in Tools & Home Improvement ( See Top 100 in Tools & Home Improvement ) #13 in Wire Cutters | | Brand Name | Hakko | | Color | Red and Black Handles | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (24,317) | | Cutting width | 0.05 Inches | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00641328034676 | | Grip Type | Ergonomic | | Handle Material | Alloy Steel | | Included Components | CHP-170 | | Item Dimensions L x W | 5.9"L x 3.6"W | | Item Type Name | Cutter | | Item Weight | 18.14 g | | Manufacturer | Quality Hand Tools | | Manufacturer Part Number | CHP-170 | | Material Type | Carbon Steel | | Model Number | CHP-170 | | Set Name | Pack | | Specific Uses For Product | Professional | | Specification Met | Authentic CHP-170 Wire Cutter will say "Made in Italy" on the handle. | | UPC | 641328034676 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Hakko - **Color:** Red and Black Handles - **Cutting Width:** 0.05 Inches - **Grip Type:** Ergonomic - **Handle Material:** Alloy Steel - **Item Weight:** 18.14 g - **Material:** Carbon Steel - **Product Dimensions:** 5.9"L x 3.6"W - **Specific Uses For Product:** Professional - **Specification Met:** Authentic CHP-170 Wire Cutter will say "Made in Italy" on the handle. ## Images ![Hakko CHP-170 - Micro Soft Wire Cutter - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41W4+oUpeNL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Pattern, Size, Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: I need to cut chicken wire. Should I get this pair or a heavy duty pair?** A: NO! These are not for cutting steel wire (which is what I think chicken wire is made of). Most cheap big diagonal cutters are most appropriate. **Q: I see some questions/answers on beading/jewelry questions. I am looking to use these cutters on 20 to 26 gauge jewelry wire. Thoughts and thank you.** A: Jewelry wire comes in several alloys.These cutters are for soft-alloy wires, as copper or tin.Steel wire will dull the blades quickly.Concorde **Q: Are these small enough to cut kanthal wire on a rda?** A: Thats exactly why i bought these, on recommendation from my friend. In my opinion they are perfect! Mine were great quality made in Italy. And they cut super close to your posts! Ive cut single strand 30 awg up to 3 strand twist 26 awg. If I get another one it will be another one of these! **Q: Will this work for cutting a jump rope wire? item in question: http://www.amazon.com/jump-rope-training-crossfit-adjustable/dp/b00lgxe5ns/ref=sr_1_1?i** A: If the jump rope has a "wire" rope(metal cable) you need a special pair of pliers. I use Falco wire rope cutters for cutting safety cable at work. They're not very expensive and you won't ruin a good pair of side cutters in the process ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great for cutting zip ties! *by G***N on April 3, 2026* Sharp blades.

After using the Hakko CHP-170 for a few weeks, I can confidently say it's the best pair I've ever owned, and it’s an incredible value for the money. The precision is what truly stands out. The jaws come together perfectly, allowing for an incredibly clean, flush cut on even the smallest wires and zip ties. There’s no crushing or fraying—just a perfectly smooth snip every single time. It feels like a high-end tool, but without the high-end price tag. The handle is comfortable and the spring-loaded action is smooth, so it never feels like a chore to use, even during repetitive tasks. I’ve used it on everything from 24 AWG wire to snipping the leads on small components, and it has performed flawlessly. For anyone who does any kind of electrical work, soldering, or hobby projects, this is a game-changer. It's a small tool that makes a huge difference in the quality of your work. ## Frequently Bought Together - Hakko CHP-170 - Micro Soft Wire Cutter - Cable Zip Ties,400 Pack Black Assorted Sizes 12+8+6+4 Inch,Multi-Purpose Self-Locking Nylon Cable Cord Management ,Plastic Wire Ties for Home,Office,Garden,Workshop.
