This nipper tool is designed for cutting soft lines, such as Beadalon 49, Beadalon 19, Beadalon 7, SuppleMax, Binding Wire, Elasticity, Stretch Magic, Beadalon Bead Cord, and more. Angled blades shear your stringing materials without fraying and they'll leave a smooth, clean edge. This tool is not recommended for cutting hard wires such as Remembrance or other spring-tempered material.
