StewMac Fret Cutter, Custom Designed for Guitar Fret Work

Spend less time filing fret ends!This is the best tool for trimming the ends off fretwire.A Stewart-MacDonald exclusive, our custom-made steel cutter has improved features you won\'t find on hardware store nippers. The jaws are specially hardened for fret work, and they\'re profiled and flush-ground to cut the wire close to the fretboard. The result is a cleaner cut without pulling the wire, so you\'ll need less filing. Longer rubber-coated handles allow better access to the frets over a guitar body.1\" (25.4mm) jaw width, 8\" (203.20mm) length.Works on stainless frets, too!The StewMac Fret Cutter is suitable for use on stainless-steel fretwire. Modern stainless-steel fretwire is known to be harder than the traditional nickel-silver blends, but our own shop experience indicates the wire does not cause premature wear of files or sandpapers.
