StewMac Fret Cutter – Precision Flush Cut for Guitar Fretwork | Hardened Steel for Clean Cuts with Less Filing | Long Rubber-Coated Handles for Better Access | Works on Stainless Frets (0619)

Works perfectly as excepted,very pricey tool but worth it. Will last for years if you don’t abuse it. Cuts are sharp and clean,very durable tool Also flush cuts perfectly Very happy with it

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!

great product

Let me make this clear: I am going to buy this again if I ever have to do another job. This thing was great. What it did, it did well. However, after the second stainless steel fret job (both Super Jumbo frets), a large chip just broke off the end. I can no longer use this to remove frets as I fear it will most likely scratch the wood, but it is still usable in clipping frets.

Works perfectly and easy to use. No damage at all to the edge. Definitely worth the money glad I decided to buy it instead of the cheap chinese stuff.

Stewmac products cost more, but they also do an excellent job and last. I had some stainless steel frets I tried, unsuccessfully, to cut and install. Regular wire cutters don't work, and I tried several before going with the Stewmac cutters. They're touch, durable, and the ends are designed to be thin enough to make a relatively clean cut. "You get what you pay for" is a phrase that is so very often overused. However, it's been my experience that it's true when it comes to Stewmac products. I could have gone with less durable frets but the Stewmac cutters did the job. I recommend cutting the tangs first before cutting the crown of the frets if you're trying to cut really durable stainless steel frets.

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.

Work great so far. Only done one job with them so far

Das ist schon eine andere Liga. Extrem gutes Werkzeug. Damit macht die Arbeit doppelt Spaß.

Tiene un corte muy bueno para los trastes

Those are the best fret nippers...

diese bundzange ist wirklich um welte anbieter hatteerenn besser als die, die ich vorher von einem anderen anbieter hatte. 10€ teurer aber was für die "ewegkeit"..........

Cuts stainless frets like a champ. Some other cutter may work as well, but I don't know of it.
