Nice quality product
5 Stars
Nice quality product
Oddly, the vendor says Country of origin, USA, as does the packaging. However, the actual tool says Made in Italy. No matter, a high quality tool either way.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great little cutters but only for soft material!
Reviewed in the United States on January 22, 2024
These are excellent, sharp little cutters for a cheap price. You can see in the pictures there are two pair. The first set shown are still as new and you can see the blades are sharp and not damaged. In the later pictures you can see the other pair which has nicks in the blade near the tip. I mistakenly thought a small, thin piece of metal was light and light but was much stranger steel than I realized. Trying to cut this damaged the blade as shown in the photos. That pair still cuts but not quite as well as it did before. Still very well, just not as well.

I realize I asked too much of them, albeit accidentally, but just posting this to show the limit isn’t very high. However if you stay within it, they are nice. The grip is comfortable and soft, the spring action is just the right strength and they are sized right for small jobs like zip ties etc.

Even with the issue, I would still recommend these!
