Hakko CHP-170-2PK Micro Soft Wire Cutter – Flush-Cut (Pack of 2)

Overview

The Hakko CHP-170-2PK Micro Soft Wire Cutter is a compact tool designed for flush-cut precision on soft wires and copper leads. Its 8 mm long jaw is set at a 21-degree angle to deliver clean, level cuts on terminals up to 16 AWG (1.3 mm). The two-pack provides a spare or a dedicated tool for separate stations, enabling dependable readiness across projects.

Design and Materials

Constructed from 2.5 mm thick heat-treated carbon steel, the cutters emphasize durability and steady performance through repeated use. Precision-ground holes and surfaces ensure smooth movement and consistent results. Non-slip hand grips and a dolphin-style fore-edge protect the hands during guiding and cutting. An internal spring returns the tool to the open position between cuts, reducing grip fatigue. Parkerized finishes minimize glare and boost corrosion resistance in busy workspaces.
