How do electronics cutters work?
| Electronic cutters are based on a lever system. The tool consists of two levers working in opposite directions. The force applied to the handles of the instrument as they are brought together is multiplied by the central fulcrum and focused through the jaws, allowing a large amount of leverage to be applied in a small area. | |
| Electronics cutters usually have springs between the handles to allow the handles to automatically return to their open position when the user does not press them together. This means that the user does not have to extend the handles again after making a cut, allowing the tool to be operated with one hand. |
 | Electronics wire cutters have very thin jaws so they can easily cut thin wires. This distinguishes them from side cutters and other larger cutting tools that are better suited for cutting cables and steel wire. |
 | Electronics cutters use an adjustable screw connection as a solid axis of rotation (the point around which both arms rotate). This minimizes friction and maximizes cutting edge alignment. |
