As a gemologist, I think they were made for jewelry wire, prongs, cutting sheet, etc. Italy makes most of the World's jewelry chains and necklaces.

They'd certainly cut the wire, but it would really depend on the gauge you're cutting I guess. I can't say with certain it would give you the smooth cut you're desiring though. Sorry . . .

I haven't made jewelry with them yet but unless you pull on the links (I mean grab a handful of link and tug) they aren't going to budge. I'm currently making a vest and the thing hasn't pulled itself apart with its own weight so you should be fine. You certainly can't manipulate these just with fingers or teeth (sorry for the image).

I didn't cut mine but it shouldn't be a problem. The liners are thin and I would think scissors would work just fine

Not sure i cut gem stone with them & they work great for thatbut like almost all diamond bits you only get a few cuts before their cookedsorry i could not help

Yes they should....I use them in a Model airplane application and they work just fine trimming small gauge servo wire. Of course these are small braided and you would use solid correct. They work great for me.....

Yes you can. Make sure that they are your utility scissors that you use for those non tech cuts.

Yes, without any trouble. I use it to cut through rose quartz. I wouldn't want to cut up sheet metal with it, but for nails or small bits it should be fine.

These cutters are fine for cutting up to about 4mm wire, it's not very fine pointed, good for hobby, I build truck looms and these were inadequate for the job, good grip.

I think this should work. The gauge of wire these will cut depends on the material. I haven't worked with Kanthal wire, but for reference, the cutters work on 20 ga stainless but not 18 ga (1/2 hard, I think?) but will happily cut 18 ga aluminum.

I used a pair of small jewelry wire end cutter pliers (NOT SIDE CUTTER). which I modified by grinding them dull (rounded) so as not to cut the ferrule. They worked perfectly. Figure I can resharpen them if I have to.

I would recommend adding wire onto these.. They come in a loop so you can cut them, We sell all GA wires and colors

Probably, but don't know for sure. I use them to cut glass. But the cost is probaby worth a try. If you go to orchard supply or some place similar look at the different wheels (accesories) in the Dremel brand, it should tell you which tool is for cutting metal so u can match with an off brand.

Yes, I believe you could cut them with a hacksaw or other appropriate saw, as they are steel.

Hello Jeanne, It depends on the material the earring is made of. If it is silver or high karat gold these shears will work fine. If it is a harder metal like stainless steel there is a chance that the shears will snap.

Not easily. They're very hard plastic and hard to cut. I'd recommend making something with wire or nails yourself.

I purchased mine to use to cut mandarine oranges. I have used them to cut a 1/4 inch branch but have not tried anything as big as wire. I honestly do not know if they would cut but probably. I do not have much strength in my hands so I could not even test them.
