Great at cutting, very delicate though- any damage and a snap is on its way
I use these as a veterinarian for cutting pig tusks. These wires are sharp but no matter the brand or price, they are extremely finicky. They do NOT like to be kinked, bent, or handled roughly. A tiny kink will quickly fray or snap/break completely. When doing multiple 300 lb plus angry pot belly pigs, speed is of the essence and I really have to baby these things- can't stuff them in a pocket, through them in a carrier bag or box with other things. I've already been down to my last one and it had snapped twice leaving me with about 5 inches of length and it was fraying before my eyes as I tried to finish my last tusk.<br /><br />They cut through tusks and casts beautifully. The handle hooks are comfortable but useless once you let go, they don't stay on/in the loops, I prefer locking wrenches or even needle noses but again, you can't leave them on and set them and the wire down as any bending of the wire will cause breakage.
