I got mine on Saturday. I haven't used them yet, but I already love them. Still have to condition mine, too. On my bench waiting for me.

No, really teeny-tiny tips which fit into spaces others won't.

I was under the assumption that these are micro needle nose pliers not cutters. I think in the previous post it stated they are bent nose too.

Just the edges of pliers. Smooth the sharp edges over just a tad with some 400 or 600 paper or a fine emery board. It helps reduce tool marks.

Thanks for straightening me out. I read "pliers", but saw cutters. I have some that look like that.

Not bent nose- however, I DID just buy my very first pair of bent nose pliers. I thought I would give them a try for wrapped loops. Not crazy about them. They are Lindstrom and not all that great, honestly.
