Best grips our there

NWS grips are second to none, the high leverage feature does an awesome job.

What nice wire cutters should feel like

I found nws cutters later in my career and they are smooth, and offer a ton of leverage to make the cut.

Stolen email used to buy tools

Someone is buying products and tools using my email address and name. I did not buy this tool, and have tried to contact customer service.

Disappointing finish

These cutters work well. They amplify strength and cut easily. While it's true functionality is the most important feature, I wish the "titan finish" was a little better. It looks kind of rough and doesn't smoothly open the entire way. I lubed it and open and closed it a lot. It works smoother now. This is my first NWS, while it is good, I like my Knipex better.

Fantastic Side Cutters!

These high leverage side Sutter's are the best I've used! After a few years of use, they still felt brand new and have way more cutting force than other cutters I've tried.

NWS dikes

Super comfortable grips. Very high leverage cutters. I have the Knipex 10" diagonal cutters. I have the Knipex 7" twin force diagonal cutters. I also have the Knipex 10" Xl CoBolt. I rate these in cutting strength second to the Knipex Cobolt Xl . So in terms of high leverage cutting my rating are 1. CoBolt XL. 2. NWS. 3. TwinForce. 4. 10" Knipex Dikes. I have Klein Dikes also but it's not on same level as German steel and engineering. Get them while on sale only 32$!!!

NWS 8 inch side cutters

These are the very best cutters I have .
They cut through wire with so little effort and they hold a edge ,the handles are so comfortable.
I have tool truck cutters but nothing compares to these. If you use cutters everyday these will serve you well.

NWS [****] 8" Heavy Duty Lever Side Cutter FantasticoPlus - TitanFinish - SoftGripp, Tethered...

This one of first NWS products I have purchased.
Firstly, KC Tools has amazing customer service. Now for the product. While I dare not put this tool through the extreme testing I have witnessed on YouTube it was a deciding factor. They honestly look a bit strange at first glance. However, within a few single hand cuts they are all they claims to be. Not to offend anyone but German engineering has always been a strong point. The steels used is amazing. Let's not forget to mention the"clean snapping sound‚" when the cut is complete. So satisfying. I helped someone at my job yesterday and they heard the magic snap!!!"What tool was that???‚" I proudly said NWS side cutters. I gave him the information. He was sold!!! Again, KC Tools is totally awesome

NWS Side Cutter

This thing is awesome; Purchased as part of a set as I had given my Felo cutter (similar) to my son who has begun doing electrical installs. I really appreciate the extra leverage it provides.

NWS [****] 8" HEAVY DUTY LEVER SIDE CUTTER FANTASTICOPLUS - TITANFINISH - SOFTGRIPP, TETHERED...

Very nice cutters. As others have mentioned, they don't open as wide as others. I like em as well as snap on cutters but my favorite is the Knipex twin force. Still very good and I'm happy with them. The handles feel great

NWS Cutters

These bad boys are awesome. I have used a NWS made Irwin branded [****] for the last 4 years on automotive professionally and home electrical projects. and they still look like new. Pretty amazing. I bought these to give a gift to a friend.

NWS side cutter

I am a die hard Snap - On tool person! The tools at KC- Tools are some the best. They rival snap on. This pair of side cutters are good example of that

Simply Excellent

For ranch work cutting wire and fencing these just can't be beat.
The additional leverage is fantastic.

NWS [****] 8" Heavy Duty Lever Side Cutter FantasticoPlus - TitanFinish - SoftGripp, Tethered...

These side cutters are the best I've ever owned. Comparing them to my old ones you can see a world of difference. Definitely a worthy investment and addition to my arsenal.

Impressed.

Got these just because they were on sale. At first they felt a bit soft in my hand, but then after cutting some heavy wires and zip ties, I was quickly impressed. They easily outperform any of my Snap On cutters ( a bit sad to say since I paid a lot more for each of them.) The extra leverage really helps. They also didn't need a break in period to get them to open easily. My favorite set now.
