Overview
The KUROKIN PC21-200-BG is an 8-inch forged wire cutter made for electricians, installers, and contractors who need fast, controlled cutting during daily jobsite work. It is suited for general wire cutting where strength, reliability, and one-handed operation matter, including tight spaces and overhead work.
This cutter handles piano wire up to 0.1" (3.0mm) diameter, iron wire up to 0.16" (4.0mm) diameter, and messenger wire up to 13 SQ. Its compact 8" size offers greater control than larger cutters, while the slim handle profile supports a steady grip during repetitive cutting.
Forged from a single piece of steel for strength and long-term durability, the tool is built to hold up under continuous load. A spring-assisted handle with an opening stopper enables smooth one-handed operation and quick jaw reset between cuts, helping reduce hand fatigue over long work sessions. Finished in the signature KUROKIN black oxide for improved corrosion resistance, it is hand-inspected and finished in Japan and manufactured to modern Japanese quality standards.
