Milwaukee 4.75 in. Mini Flush Cutters

Okay, 4 stars with an *. If you’ve purchased these cutters for low zip ties and small gauge, then great. Well constructed for that and that’s why I bought them. They are not perfect for me because I did not consider the grip construction. My hands need to move fast. The extended ends snag when sliding into tool belt pocket. If it becomes a frustration I’ll clip those dog ears off or go back to Fiskars.

The Milwaukee Mini Flush Cutter is a perfect addition to your cabling tool bag. It is lightweight and feels comfortable in the hand. The cutting area is angled allowing better visibility and easy access to tight spaces. I tested on Cat5E cable and the tool cut easily and quickly through individual conductors as well as the entire cable. What really impressed me was the ability to cut through the jacket string. Most cutters have trouble cutting through the fine threads of the string but this cutter had no trouble severing all strands of the string in a single cut. I did not have any Cat6 pass through connectors to test flush cutting so I mounted a Cat5E cable into a vise and cut the conductors as close as I could to the jaw surface. The cutter did an amazing job of shearing off the conductors close to the surface. Far better than any diagonal cutters I own. These cutters do have spring loaded design which keeps the cutting jaw open. The spring is not very strong so you are not fighting it to cut. What I do miss is a locking lever to keep the cutters shut for storage. Overall this is a quality product at a great price. Highly recommended if you perform cable termination.

Price is right for this simple cutter. I think the tips could be a little stronger and just a little bit longer. These could be the perfect low voltage flush cutter to trim for rj45 terminations.

Great tool

The Milwaukee Mini Flush Cutters is the perfect tool when you are bundling wires with zip ties. The cutters allow you to get a close clean cut on the excess zip tie for a neat professional look.

Great for trimming coax shield when installing PL 259 and similar connectors.

Love these! Absolute BEST flush cutters I’ve ever used. I have 2:)

They’re pretty good. I’ve used better European made ones that cost more, but these are probably the ones I’d tell a friend to get. They felt better in the hand to me than the cheaper options did and the construction seems to be more durable. This pair comes with a limited lifetime warranty, but this tools should be considered a consumable in my option.The cutters did a good job trimming up to 18 AWG copper wire, zip ties (some manufacturers say not to do this), and component leads. I even used them for hangnails and cleaning up my cuticles. The cuts where all nice and clean. These are definitely staying with my soldering iron.

Best flush cutters I’ve tried. Actually cuts flush, a must for coil building for vapers

Works great
