The Snip Fishing Line Cutter

Like another reviewer, I use these to cut Fireline for beading purposes.Having blunted my favourite scissors doing this, I did some research on the web and found some great reviews about this product. The only outlet I could find in the UK selling them on the web were always out of stock so I finally bought the imported snips from Amazon.I have to say I'm glad I did. They cut cleanly every time. I have tried them on a good variety of types of thread and get good results on them all. The Snips are light, easy to press to cut and when locked the blades safely close automatically. They come in grey or black only (obviously for fishing people, these are fine) but as the beading community gets to know about them, I hope they produce them in more attractive colours!My only real grumble, however, is that it is difficult to find UK stores, selling Boomerang products which is certainly a missed opportunity by all our beading stores!)

I wanted something to cut fireline and mono filament used in seed beadwork and it does just that very well. I have purchased various scissors proporting to do this, to no avail. These snips do what it says on the box " cuts clean & smooth every time". Thanks Boomerang Tool Company.

Excellent tool for cutting fireline. Clip means I can fix it to my belt and extension cord means it can be used at arms length or otherwise. Love it!

This is the best braid cutter I have used, it works really well. I think this is due to the serrations being really fine. Gives a nice clean cut, no fuzz.

Does a good job. Did not give 5 starts because the one I receive was obviously used and had scratch marks on it.Update* - 4 months later the snippers won’t cut braid properly anymore. You have to try a couple times and the end of the line gets very frayed.
