Featuring hardened steel jaws, adjustable depth stop, and interchangeable inserts, it delivers precise, clean cuts on all fret sizes while ensuring ergonomic comfort for extended use. ## Description StewMac Deluxe Fret Tang NipperUndercutting the fret tangs is essential for fret work: it makes the job faster for bound necks where the fret ends go over the binding, and it helps save the lacquer finish at the edges of unbound fretboards. Our Deluxe Fret Tang Nipper does this job in a snap, just squeeze the handle and the fret tang is cut quickly and cleanly without bending or crimping.A heavy-duty workhorseDesigned to adjust to any size fretwire, from narrow to extra-wide jumbo, all in one tool. The hardened steel cutters cut through nickel-silver fretwire like butter, and they're tough enough to cut harder materials like stainless too. They're built to stay sharp for a lifetime on your bench. From guitar to bass to mandolin, these nippers handle any job or instrument.Save time AND your hands!The adjustable depth stop gives you accurate, repeatable cuts, making even complex fret jobs a breeze. No more time wasted adjusting the tool after every fret. The extended extra-thick rubber grips are built to absorb shock.Features:2 interchangeable inserts with 4 cutting settingsCuts any size wireAdjustable depth stopExtended rubber-molded gripsHardened steel cutting jawsCuts through harder fretwire—even stainlessOverall length: 9" (228mm)Comes with 2-sided interchangeable tables for various widths of fretwire:Narrow side for widths 0.053" to 0.080" (1.35mm to 2.03mm)Medium side for widths 0.084" to 0.095" (2.13mm to 2.41mm)Large side for widths 0.100" to 0.106" (2.54mm to 2.69mm)Extra-large side for widths 0.106" to 0.110" (2.69mm to 2.79mm)After nipping the tang, we recommend filing the cut surface smooth with our Fret End Dressing File or Nut and Saddle Shaping Files.
