Super helpful and key for doing wire and zinc.

In the studio, using your lead dykes for anything other than cutting lead is a cardinal sin. Doing so leaves impressions in the jaws of your dykes which appear when you cut your lead. So it’s a big no-no. 

These dykes are an inexpensive option you don’t feel guilty about abusing by munching away on wire or zinc. 

We do not suggest these for building lead came projects. A higher quality tool like the Fan Out Lead Dykes makes the process easier.
