The NP-05 has high carbon steel jaws that are very sharp and durable. Their design makes them ideal for removing carrots and cutting cleanly and cutting various plastic injection molded gates (they cut plastic gates up to 3mm in diameter).

Review: منتج فخم وذات جوده عاليه Review: Any nippers can cut plastic, most nippers can cut copper wire and thin steel sheets. These are the first nippers of this size I've tested that can cut steel wire without losing their edge. Haven't had them for long though, so we'll see how they hold up, so far though, thoroughly impressed. ## Features - slender and compact head - ideal for for cutting/trimming plastic injection moulding gate sprue - also perfect for cutting plastic tie-wraps, cutting out small plastic model parts, thin copper wire (max 2.0mm dia.) etc. - razor sharp, robust, durable quenched blades for excellent cutting performance & durability. - outstanding sharp cutting jaws - jaw opening angle 'stopper' (when the grips are released, this ensures the jaws don’t open too wide - less hand fatigue for repetitive cutting work) - ESD-compliant grip offering ESD protection - environmentally friendly elastomer (oil resistant) comfort cushioned grips - sprung grips (handles spring out when released) - strap holes at end of handles - Made in Japan ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B002F9MQHY | | ASIN | B002F9MQHY | | Best Sellers Rank | #35,093 in Tools & Home Improvement ( See Top 100 in Tools & Home Improvement ) #35 in Side-Cutting Pliers | | Brand Name | ENGINEER | | Color | Black | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (931) | | Customer reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (931) | | Cutting width | 0.2 Centimeters | | Date First Available | 7 August 2012 | | Global Trade Identification Number | 04989833030858 | | Grip Type | Ergonomic | | Handle Material | Plastic | | Included Components | NP-05 | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item Dimensions L x W | 12.3L x 5.2W centimeters | | Item Type Name | NP-05 | | Item Weight | 75 Grams | | Item model number | NP-05 | | Manufacturer | engineer inc. | | Manufacturer | engineer inc. | | Manufacturer Part Number | NP-05 | | Material Type | Plastic Carbon Steel | | Model Number | NP-05 | | Product Dimensions | 12.3 x 5.2 x 1.1 cm; 75 g | | Set Name | NP-05 | | Specific Uses For Product | Twisting, Cutting, Grasping | | Specification Met | Industry standard compliant | | UPC | 785533581089 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** ENGINEER - **Colour:** Black - **Handle material:** Plastic - **Material:** Plastic Carbon Steel - **Product dimensions:** 12.3L x 5.2W centimeters ## Images ![engineer Japanese micro nippers for cutting plastic (e.g. injection moulding), copper wire, etc np-05 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51LoxZK31HL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Style** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by A***E on 2 December 2024* منتج فخم وذات جوده عاليه ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by N***K on 8 February 2026* Any nippers can cut plastic, most nippers can cut copper wire and thin steel sheets. These are the first nippers of this size I've tested that can cut steel wire without losing their edge. Haven't had them for long though, so we'll see how they hold up, so far though, thoroughly impressed. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by W***N on 15 August 2024* When the Japanese set out to make something, quality really does seem to be the priority. They build up to a standard rather than down to a price. I'm an engineer/machinist and a huge tool nerd and a can honestly say these are nothing short of beautiful! The fit and finish is flawless! The jaws are truly sharp and the edges meet perfectly. Very clean cut on plastics and they're perfect for cutting off the excess on zip ties as they don't leave any jagged bits of plastic behind. They're fine for copper too but not really their intended purpose. Perfect for model makers. The blocky over moulded handles are surprisingly comfortable and the machining is absolutely perfect! Every single edge has been chamfered so as not to be sharp but the bevels are so incredibly fine, you almost can't see them with the naked eye! You can however feel them. Frankly, I'm at a loss as to how they make any profit at these prices!! World class stuff! I'll be going to this brand for all my small pliers. Engineer is the manufacturer responsible for Vamplier products which are equally well made. Beautiful!! ## Frequently Bought Together - Micro nippers for Cutting Plastic, Copper Wire etc. Made in Japan.
