not 4.5" the tool I got was 7"
I'm sure the tool is a good tool. I lost one that was 4.5'' long so that's what I ordered.  I use it for very small wire cutting and loved that cutter.  Just right for what I used it for.  I didn't want a 7" wire cutter.  The reason I rated it less than 5 stars is because I didn't get what I ordered.
