These Micro Flush Cutters are a pair of pliers used in jewellery making, among other things. They're used for cutting different types of wire and, when used properly, will trim the wire without leaving a sharp edge. The small size makes them very portable and good for travel, but it also makes them very suitable for smaller hands.
As you can see in the attached photo, these fit nicely in my hands. They work well with smaller gauges of wire, and not as well on a thicker gauge. I find that these run into trouble even when attempting to trim a standard gauge of eye or headpin (eg. Bead Landing, which are generally around 18g and very hard). These can trim the same gauge of wire provided it's softer (like Artistic Wire), but hard wires are definitely an issue.
I also find that these particular cutters don't leave as smooth an edge as other flush cutters available. Sometimes I end up filing down the edge to ensure that nothing is rough or sharp. Still, the price is right and the size works well for me personally, so I can't really complain.
If you're looking for something to trim softer and/or thinner wire, these work well. If you need something more heavy duty, I would recommend investing in a bigger size.
