Maun Wire Cutters. Made For Hard Metal Wire

Maun wire cutters are engineered for controlled cutting, material-specific performance, and long-term professional reliability. Across the range, our tools are designed to match your wire type, diameter, and working environment - ensuring clean cuts without unnecessary effort or tool damage.

  • Defined cutting capacity by wire diameter: Each Maun cutter is engineered for specific wire sizes, with cutting capacities ranging from 3.0 mm to 6.0 mm soft wire, depending on model. This ensures predictable performance and helps prevent edge damage caused by overloading the tool.
  • Material-specific cutter design: Our range clearly differentiates between soft jewellery and craft cutters and tools designed for harder wire and trade applications. This allows you to choose the correct cutter for the material, protecting both finish quality and tool life.
  • Precision-ground cutting edges (HRC 57-65): Our cutting edges are manufactured in line with BS 3087-7:1996 and ISO 5747:1995, ensuring consistent quality, durability, and safe operation across professional environments.
  • Varied tool length for perfect leverage: Available in 125 mm, 140 mm, 150 mm, 160 mm, and 200 mm lengths, the Maun range allows users to balance cutting power with control - from fine bench work to heavy-duty outdoor use.
  • Reduced hand fatigue through ergonomic features: Part of our range include return springs for repetitive cutting tasks and comfort grips for improved control, particularly on larger or trade-focused cutters.
  • Specialist options for demanding environments: Our range includes insulated cutters compliant with IEC 60900:2018 for electrical work and rugged fencing pliers designed for harsh outdoor conditions.
  • Made in England to professional standards: Maun tools are designed and manufactured to the highest standards for repeatable accuracy, reliability, and long service life.

Maun Wire Cutters are Designed for Professionals

Our strong Diagonal Cutters use a high-leverage cutter design to make quick work of cutting hard wire. They work by indenting the wire and then wedging it apart. The Diagonal Cutting Plier for Hard Wire is capable of cutting soft wire up to 4.0 mm, with a traditional diagonal cutting action for versatility. Manufactured to BS 3087-7:1996 and ISO 5747:1995 standards in a 160 mm length.

Our End Cutting Pliers help to leave a clean finish on wire, ideal for cutting close/flush to other surfaces, such as removing nails from wood. They're also useful if access is tight, and you can only reach the wire from above.

If you prefer combination pliers, our large multipurpose Side Cutter Parallel Pliers allow you to both grip and cut wire with one tool, making you more efficient at working with wire and wiring over long periods. The serrated jaws model makes excellent Fence cutters for wire rope fence cutting. Our range is appropriate for multiple types of wire, including soft, hard, copper, and piano wire.

Our Insulated Wire Cutters are designed for electrical and safety-critical environments, certified to IEC 60900:2018. These cutters provide controlled, reliable cutting while meeting insulation requirements for regulated electrical work, without compromising Maun cutting accuracy.

Our Long Nose Side Cutter Parallel Plier (Return Spring) is ideal for working in confined or awkward spaces where access and visibility are limited. The long tapered nose allows precise positioning, while the parallel cutting action improves cut stability. Integrated return spring supports repetitive cutting tasks with reduced hand fatigue. Available in 160 mm and 200 mm lengths.

We also stock the following variants:

Avoid leaving jagged wire edges from using blunt electrical cutting tools, and instead, choose a durable, safe, and sturdy precision cutter from Maun.

Can They Cut Through Hard Wire?

Wire gauge is the measure of thickness, with a high gauge meaning a thin wire. This combined with the wire hardness, has a great impact on whether or not your shears will cut through the wire. Our products are heavy duty, and designed to cut through hard steel wire and other materials easily. This makes them perfect for a DIY'er, an electrician, and someone maintaining high tensile fence wire. They're also great at cutting through floristry wire.

Because with this range of British-made Maun originals, your toolbox is a cut above the rest.
