## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐ Poor Quality Control = Bad Product
*by U***E on June 9, 2016*

I purchased this same product about 4 years ago and the spring mechanism was great. After each snip, the jaws went back into an open position making it so much convenient to snip again.I now purchased this product again, twice, and both times the quality is unacceptable. I purchased from two different vendors and both times the product's spring mechanism doesn't work. Who is managing the Quality Control department at this company?! And this is made in the USA!Dear Company - you ruined this product. I'm finding another product that does what it's supposed to do.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Love 'em
*by M***N on April 21, 2016*

I've used this model of cutter for over a decade and they have always served me well for electronic applications.  They're great for cutting component leads, wires, and anything that's not particularly hard.  If you try to clip a screw or nail you will destroy the cutting edge if not worse.  Same goes for hard wire.  They're especially good for cutting cable ties flush.  If you've ever had an unevenly cut cable tie open up your hand or arm you'll understand how important that is.  I have very large hands and I've never had my hand cramp from using them for extended periods.  I've never had the spring mechanism break on one.

### ⭐ Total junk - got pitched in the trash because not worth the effort to return it.
*by J***L on March 30, 2014*

It wasn't worth returning because the RMA required that it arrive back at the seller within 7 days after the RMA was issued - so I have to pay premium to ensure that for a six dollar item?  Not likely.  So what' wrong with it?  One - it's so poorly constructed that the hinge it too tight to allow the spring to activate to open the cutter.  Second - the clipping blades are not actually flush!  I bought this item on the strength of the reviews, but truth be told, this tool is junk.  Save your money - look elsewhere for a flush cutter - I will be shortly.
