Select a tool suited to the specific metal and thickness; specialist photo-etch scissors are not general-purpose wire cutters. Once the part is free, inspect the attachment area and use an appropriate holding or forming tool for the next step.

Plan how you will hold and support the work, inspect the result and complete any cleanup or forming that follows. A tool that fits the material and access available can make detailed work easier to control. Keep each tool within its stated limits and compare models before adding a new capability to your bench.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCheck the Exact Xuron Model\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eUse the product title and model number to identify the tool you need, then review the description for its jaw style, cutting range and any special features. Where the tool includes a return spring, retaining feature or a particular grip design, confirm that feature on the selected listing.
