Care & Usage Tips
For maximum tool life, always cut using the center of the jaws—cutting at the tip significantly reduces cutting capacity and may damage the fine tapered jaws.
Not recommended for memory wire, Beadalon®, sprue cutting, or hardened materials beyond rated capacity.
Avoid twisting or prying motions, as carbide cutting edges are extremely hard but can be brittle if misused.
Made in the USA, the M403C combines Swanstrom’s proprietary forged alloy steel construction with premium carbide cutting technology to deliver exceptional cutting performance trusted by jewelry professionals worldwide.
