StewMac Fret Cutter, Flush Cut Guitar Fretwork Cutters

Should be pretty easy to use for anyone of average strength. I was on the fence about buying this until I tried to cut stainless steel frets with my pliers... I immediately ordered these and was beyond thankful when it came because I snipped a whole bass neck worth of frets (both sides) in minutes.

Outstanding quality - as expected. Made easy work of stainless steel frets. Good investment - buy once, cry once. These will not fail you.

Totally worth it. I was shocked at how well these do the job. Treat them right and they will give you years of service.

Its a great tool. The only cutter for stainless steel frets.

Use with extreme caution on Stainless Steel frets, while the edge did mar a bit, these definitely worked way better then the cheaper one I had (I'll regrind those into a fret puller). If you're doing Stainless Steel frets, definitely get these!

I've been looking for the perfect zip tie cutter for a long time. I've got flush cut pliers that do the job when space is plentiful, but there are a lot of projects where zip ties barely fit, and standard flush cut pliers can't fit into the space. This is where these end nip versions come in - they can access zip ties 90 degrees compared to standard flush cutters, meaning I have a second tool for cutting zip ties if space is an issue. Standard end nippers leave zip ties proud of the surface, and these are flush cutting, so they don't leave that sharp edge behind. I'm sure these work for guitar frets like intended, but I'm using them for zip ties and expect them to last a really long time as a result. Spend the extra money and get a good quality set!

I bought a cheaper set and although they worked fine, they didn't get as close as these. That's super important before beveling. If you don't get most of the tang off, you will be beveling for a long time, which increases the chance of damaging the fretboard. They're also pretty hefty, and will be useful cutting other material. Tried on brass and nickel, and went through them with ease. I think a lot of stewmacs products are worth their price, but this one especially stands out for the use cases/lower price tag.

If you plan to use these on stainless steel fretwire just go and buy Hosco fret cutters instead. These are garbage and the cutters bent on the first cut. Every subsequent cut marred the surface further and I was basically just biting into the wire and snapping it off at the end. STEWMAC needs to figure out what is happening because there is no excuse for them to be selling these and advertising them for stainless steel and having them break on the first cut.

Tiene un corte muy bueno para los trastes

Buy it! It‘s worth every cent! None of the other tools i tried can hold up!

The best. Cuts stainless frets with ease.

Produit très efficaces mais Amazon l’emballe dans une enveloppe papier Première commande l’emballage défoncé et la pince était abîmé Donc je l’ai retourné Deuxième commande l’emballage était encore pire, mais la pince ne semblait pas abîmé alors je l’ai gardé Je met 3 étoiles car Amazon pourrez proposer un meilleur emballage qui protège mieux, surtout au vue du prix de cet outil
