    Wire Art and Beading Tool Kits

    Xuron brand Cutters and Pliers are known for their high quality, durability and precision craftsmanship. Xuron tools are made at our factory in Saco, Maine USA where we have control over every aspect of manufacturing, quality control and service. At Xuron, we understand that tools are an integral part of your creative experience. Excellent tools have a direct impact on the quality of your finished product. Were pleased to introduce our fine line of tools to you - perfect for bead stringing, wire art and general jewelry making. The first time you use your Xuron cutter you will notice the difference in our tools. The cutting edges do not line up perfectly. In fact, this is Xurons unique Micro-Shear blade bypass cutting method, which we developed and patented. Compared to traditional wire cutters that cut by compression (squeezing the material until it cuts, leaving a spike or pinch that requires clean-up), the cutting blades of a Xuron tool bypass for a sheer cut that leaves a clean flat surface. See diagram below:

    All Xuron tools feature return springs and soft, non-slip rubber handle grips for comfort, ease of use, and exceptional control.

    Compression cutter blades meet edge-to-edge, causing a spiked cut and an eventual dulling of the tool.

    Model 440 High Precision ScissorIdeal choice for cutting bead cord or natural fi ber threads, including embroidery fl oss, due to its true scissor action. While wire cutters tend to pull or fray these materials, the model 440 will make clean, swift, effortless cuts. Uniquely designed with a return spring and comfortable handles (no fi nger loops) perfect for both left and right-handed use.

    Model 9180 High Durability ScissorDesigned and manufactured for cutting Kevlar and other high strength fi bers.

    These materials, though enjoyed by beaders for their abrasion resistance and stretch-free nature, will ruin the cutting edges of a wire cutter or traditional scissor quickly. Money spent on this scissor means your other tools will stay sharper longer. Terrifi c for cutting Dandyline, Fireline and other high strength stringing fi bers.

  • Model 485FN Flat Nose PlierPlier jaws are fl at and wide for bending, forming, grasping, holding and fl attening wire and other materials. As with all Xuron brand pliers, this tool offers maximum comfort. Traditional, bulky, drop-forged pliers dont compare to the quality and versatility our pliers provide.

    Model 450BN Bent Nose PlierA bent nose version of our model 450 Tweezer Nose Plier great for handling small beads or delicate items while keeping the hand in a horizontal position. Soft, non-slip rubber grips and return spring offer excellent control while working.

    Model 488 Round Nose PlierUsed for looping and forming wire. Plier blades are round at the tip and transition to an elliptical shape for multiple forming possibilities. Although very delicate in appearance, the plier blades will stay aligned (not cross) when in use, unlike less expensive alternatives.

    Model 450 TweezerNose (Chain Nose) PlierOur Tweezer Nose Plier blades are very fi ne and precise (like a tweezer), with the added benefi t of soft rubber grips and a return spring for excellent control and comfort. Great for handling delicate fi ndings and beads, holding wire, and fl attening crimp tubes.

    Precision Work Demands Precision Pliers

    Model 2193F Heavy Duty Double Flush Cutter with Wire Retaining ClampsSimilar to our model 2193, but with outside retaining clamps that hold the wire perpendicular to the jaws for straight fl at cuts on both sides of the wire. The clamps also prevent wire fl y always, so you can keep track of your precious metal pieces. Cuts soft wire up to 12 AWG (2mm) and hard wire up to 1.5mm.

    Model 2193 Heavy Duty Double Flush CutterThis is the perfect tool for cutting hard wire and memory wire up to 1mm diameter. The Heavy Duty Double Flush Cutter offers a nontraditional approach to cutting. Cutting blades of this tool completely bypass, causing them to break the wire rather than squeeze it in order to cut. As a result, both the cut and cut off sections of wire are near perfectly square. Capable of cutting soft wire up to 12 AWG (2mm).

    Model 9100 Oval Head Micro-Shear Flush CutterOval shaped cutter head lends itself perfectly to wire art and chainmaille. Great for cutting jump rings up to 12 AWG (2mm) and precious metal wire.

The oval confi guration of the cutter head offers strength and the longer (6, 152mm) curved handles lend additional mechanical advantage for easier cutting. Ideal for larger hands.

    Also available in a short handle confi guration (Model 2175SH).

    Model 410 Micro-Shear Flush CutterSimilar to the model 170-II in size and shape, but its cutting edges are harder, making it perfect for cutting fl exible stranded bead wire without damage to cutting edges. Can be used for cutting soft wire up to 18 AWG (1mm).
