Maun high leverage end cutters.
Designed for repetitive hard-wire cutting. Ideal for cutting wires and nails close to objects, for a clean cut every time.
Choose from two different handles (zinc-plated grips or soft plastic comfort grips).
Our end cutting pliers use a compound-lever action that multiplies your hand force by 14, for less effort when cutting through nails, bolts, wires, and more.
We use precision-ground sharp cutting edges that are hardened to HRC 64, for durability and longer service life. The best end cutters around.
The long-lasting return spring makes repetitive cutting fast and easy.
End nippers are ideal for getting a cut that's flush to the surface, and our compound-lever action means you don't even need long handles.
These sharp edges will cut through all hard wire, including piano wire.
Made in England and built to last, our end cutters are created to cut all types of wire again and again.
Precise flush end cuts with a durable and versatile hand tool that's perfect for heavy duty work in a workshop, construction workers, mechanics and those in automotive, as well as professionals and DIY'ers.
Our tools have been in action for over 75 years; they’re masterpieces. It’s just another problem solved by Maun.

These pliers aren't your average cutters. They're designed to tackle jobs that regular pliers struggle with. Here's are the main use cases:
Ever tried making a precise cut when working flush against a surface? Regular pliers just won't cut it - literally. Whereas these pliers have their cutting edges positioned at the end, perpendicular to the handles, so you can slice straight down without awkward angles or missed cuts. This also gives you more stability to apply extra force, meaning you can cut through harder materials.
Got an old nail or a stubborn staple stuck in wood? Instead of wrestling with it and risking damage, just grip it from above, rock the tool side to side, and lift it out smoothly. It's like having a built-in mini crowbar - only much more precise. It minimises any damage to the wood and nail in the process.
If you're tying rebar during reinforced concrete work, you know how crucial speed and grip are. The ends of the tying wire fit perfectly between the jaws of these pliers, letting you twist and secure them with a simple wrist motion. Less effort, faster work, and stronger ties.
Not all pliers are created equal, and Maun has designed these with features that make a real difference.
These aren't like normal “scissor-action” pliers - they use compound lever action to multiply your hand force. That means you get more cutting power with less effort compared to a standard end cutter of the same size. Your hands (and patience) will thank you.
Made from treated steel alloys and finished with zinc and phosphate, these pliers are built for the long haul. Here's why that matters:
Ever used a tool that felt like it was fighting against you? Maun's end nippers are engineered for smoother, more comfortable handling, reducing fatigue over time. That's real ergonomic design at work.
If you're used to traditional pliers, you might be wondering - why go for end cutters? Let's break it down:
End cutters let you approach the material from the top-down. This is a lifesaver when working in tight spaces where regular pliers just don't have the reach or leverage.
The wide, curved jaws give you a strong, secure grip when pulling out nails. This prevents the tool from digging into the wood - unlike smaller-jawed pliers, which can cause damage.
Twisting tying wire? These pliers hold the wire perfectly in line with the tool's rotation, making the process faster and easier. Regular pliers sit at an awkward angle, making it harder to twist and hold tension at the same time.
The cutting edges are precision-machined with two angled edges and a flat land. Translation? More control, cleaner cuts, and precise tool feedback every time.
Each cutting edge is induction-hardened to HRC 64, meaning they will last longer and handle tough materials and cable without wearing down quickly.
These pliers are perfect for cutting wire, nails, and similar hard materials. But just how tough are they? Here's what they can handle:
Some users may not be able to apply the force to make the cut in one action, and they may have to apply the cut once or twice, repositioning their grip to maximize the amount of force that they can apply.
The edges of diagonal cutting forms are not “sharp”; therefore, it is not a case of keeping the tool sharp. For best performance, always cut towards the middle of the jaws.
At around 200g, these pliers are comfortable to hold and use - no unnecessary bulk, no awkward handling.
However, if you need a tool for general cutting jobs, a diagonal cutter might be more comfortable for everyday use. These are designed specifically for end-cutting tasks, so they may not be the best all-rounder.

Pro Tip: Don't use these as a hammer. (Yes, we've all been tempted, but trust us - it's not worth it.)
