Diagonal Cutters 8 inch V-Notch Pliers 45 degree 90 degree buckle strip for Bending Aluminum & Alloy Frames Fold Woodworking Picture Frames

It cuts very thin aluminum as advertised. It didn’t work well on plastic as one of the reviewers claimed.

Unfortunately they were not heavy duty enough to notch the aluminum channel I needed them for. For lighter work or pvc channel, they worked fine.

I’m so glad I found the tool, I’ve been looking in arts and crafts shops, unsuccessfully. I use it to make notches when framing my stain glass pieces.

Was not what I needed

This has worked perfect. We were looking for just the right tool for a project we were working on and this was it.

For cutting triangular edges, this is great. I am new to metalwork and part of me thinks there should be an easier way to do this with a tool that has more than one use, but if I am wrong, then this is the perfect solution!

If you need to make a perfect corner these are great. They easily cut through aluminum frames (possibly other materials too) making a clean and perfect notch that gives you clean and easy 90* angles. If you wanted to make a curve you could also do that with a series of these cuts. Though I have notched things out myself with a snipper I don't get as nice a line and this cuts in half the time because I have to cut one side then the other of the v shape and this cuts both sides at once. The cutter is a good weight and feels very sturdy and solid in my hands. It's grips are comfortable and so far this works quite well.
