Years ago, all eyewear screws were made from soft “pot metal”. Ordinary cutters could do a sufficient job and last several years. Nowadays, you don’t know if you are going to be cutting a pot metal screw or a hard stainless steel screw. If your cutter is not tempered to be harder than stainless it will develop divots and ruin the cutting edges. To play it safe, use this end cutter to slice through any screw you encounter. The 22mm cutting edge is angled and tapered to a fine point. Made of tempered carbon stainless steel.

These “top of the line” cutters have comfortable, foam covered extra leverage handles, providing precise control and leverage. 13mm wide cutting edge and 6-1/2" long.

Instead, reach for this plier to safely trim tubing. Rounded jaws prevent scratching the lens. 5mm wide head. Use only on plastic compression rimless tubing.
