Description:

The Hosco C-C68 wire cutter is a professional-grade tool engineered specifically for the demands of guitar maintenance and luthier work. At a total length of 210mm (8.3in), this nipper provides the necessary mechanical advantage to cleanly cut through hard materials that standard cutters might struggle with. It is officially recommended by Hosco for use with stainless steel fretwire, ensuring a clean break without damaging the tool's cutting edges. The specialized wire lock feature ensures that the wire remains stable and secure throughout the cutting process, which significantly reduces the risk of slipping and enhances precision during delicate fretwork or string changes.

Beyond its primary application for fretwork, the Hosco C-C68 is capable of cutting piano wire up to 2.3mm (0.09in) and is perfectly suited for trimming all types of guitar strings. Its robust construction and high cutting capacity make it an essential and reliable addition to any guitar technician's toolkit. Whether you are performing a full refret with stainless steel wire or simply performing routine maintenance, this tool delivers the consistency and durability required for high-quality instrument care and professional luthier applications.
