Another brand to avoid
Jenna 04.08.2020
Ugly, clunky and blunt... these useless side cutters basically crush the string as they are so blunt... and if you can muster enough brute force to crush your way through a wound string, you are left with a nast6 little protruding sharp edge on which to cut yourself.

Terrible tool. Waste of money for luthiery work.

Does its job
GoWithTheFloat 11.08.2018
This is a neat addition to your collection of maintenance-equipment. Its very cheap, and a small investment that will make your life easier when your done changing strings or have a floating bridge that requires the ends of the strings to be clipped off. No need to be lazy and keep your strings uncut at the headstock with this tool!

Qualitywise I have nothing to complain about. This cutter serves one purpose and it does it well regardless of gauge. Very good to have one and you know it is too!

Good handing, clean cuts
Hendrik6823 01.04.2014
Great price-performance-ratio and a basic tool for guitarists and bass players.
The cutter is bigger than what I expected from the picture, but still easily fits guitar cases and gigbags. The size contributes to a great handling and firm grip.

Compared to common wire cutters from the hardware store, this one is equally sharp but gives you very clear cuts on the thinner as well as on the thicker strings. So there are no pointy leftovers sticking out your tuners. It cuts like a hot knife throgh butter.
The only slightly negative aspect: Since a spring keeps the cutter open, I used a rubber band on the handles to keep it closed and fit my gigbag pocket better.

Great overall quality and definite recommendation.

They are very good quality! They feel sturdy and well built and unlike some other string cutters they leave a clean neat edge. They only slight negative point i can think of is the fact that the spring in middle automatically opens them, therefore they cannot be kept shut. I usually keep my string cutters in my guitar case so i have had to keep them shut with an elastic band so they don't damage anything. Its not that much of an issue and if you're going to keep them in a drawer or something then it wont be an issue at all! I would recommend these string cutters to everyone and they are a fantastic price which always helps!

well, it cuts a 125 like a champ.

I'm pretty happy with it, solid construction and decent looking, after breaking off a side of my modeling side cutter on a low B, I had to get sth stronger, now that I've used it, it seems like a product that's gonna hold up, but only time will tell.

String cutting has never been more fun
F B 12.11.2022
I change my guitars strings daily just so I can use these cutters, and once I'm done, I cut each string into minute, little pieces. The A string has the best snap and snip satisfaction of all other strings with these cutters. The only reason I continue to play guitar is so I can snip the strings. I may even start playing bass just so I can change things up a bit. We'll see. Thank you, GrooveTech!

Brilliant! ?
Anonymous 03.04.2017
I've slowly been starting to play in lower turnings, with that comes higher guage strings and with that comes more strain trying to cut the strings with cutters which aren't even meant for guitar strings.

While order my new guitar and a pack of 70 guage strings, i need new cutters. These do the job so well, cut through 70s like butter.

Great product definitely worth the money.

Cuts strings easily.
Anonymous 22.04.2016
I change my strings often, and I needed something to cut my strings with more ease than my old one we have.

Overall I am pleased with it, as it cuts every strings with almost NO PRESSURE at all.

What I'd like to be different with it is that the top of the cutter (the place where it cuts) is always open. If you travel or something and you want it to stay closed, you tie it.

If you don't mind that, it's a decent choice.

sympa
Anonymous 21.04.2016
Voilà un petit outil pratique à avoir dans sa housse de guitare.
Le seul point noir est que la pince reste en position ouverte par défaut. Je règle ça avec un simple élastique mais j'aurais préféré ne pas avoir de ressort. D'autres trouverons sans doute ça pratique pour la manipulation de l'outil mais je trouve que c'est plus un inconvénient pour le stockage/transport.

Perfect for its use, one minor problem
Anonymous 02.10.2014
This is a great wire cutter than cuts all the different lengths and guauges of wires without a problem:

Test on:
- Ernie Ball Standard
- Ernie Ball Beefy
- Ernie Ball Standard Cobalt

It cuts the higher gauge strings without a problem and after a year use they have yet to become blunt or loose the cutting ability. Some minor rust maybe appears on the side but that is no problem to me.

The only major problem i do have is the spring in the middle, it can fall out (it hurts when you stand on it too...) so yeah it can fall out, putting it back in is fine and easy enough but it keeps falling out and becomes a little harder to use.

Other than that small problem, they are great to use, sturdy, strong and will built taking into consideration that spring.
