I am going to get some wire wrapping pliers. As per the tutorial I see that I will need side and front end cutters. When shopping around for the pliers I see that there are two different type of cutters. There are bevel edge front and side cutters and there are flush front and side cutters.
Which is the corrct cutter to get, bevel edge or flush front and side cutters?
Thanks
Stu

You need a good set of flush cutters, if they are side cutters or front cutters, is up to you, they just need to be comfortable to you. I personally have a set of both and use them intermittently. Choose what ever you want, as long as they are FLUSH.

Thanks Tammy and John, I sort of tought it should be flush but I just wanted to be certain. Boy some of these pliers can be very expensive. Like the Lindstrom. I saw a s set of pliers on Firemountain www.firemountaingems.com/itemdetails/H203138TLThe set seems to have all of the different pliers but it does not specify if the cutters are "flush". Does this set look OK? Thanks for the help and have a Happy Easter everyone Stu |

Thanks for the heads up. I normally tend to only buy the best quality I can afford so I deleted those from my cart. Instead I went with a set of Lindstrom pliers. I scored a really good deal on a set of Lindstrom EX series. I got the flat nose round nose chain nose and flush cutter for practically the same price as the no name set from Firemountain.

Sounds like you got a good deal anyway.
