 Lead Came Cutters Hand Tools

Lead Came Cutters

Lead cutters are designed specifically for cutting lead came.  Standard wire cutters are similar, but have a 'V' shaped cutting jaw which pinches when it cuts.  This results in a 'V' shaped cut.  This produces a gap in the came joint.  The jaws of a lead came cutter are 'V' shaped only on the front - the back of the jaw is perfectly flat, like a knife.  The tool slices through the came as it cuts, resulting in a flat cut and solid came joints.  The standard sized 6" pliers have vinyl-coated handles and are spring-loaded for ease of use.
