Aven Tools 11014, Slim Blade Straight Scissors, 4.5in
Aven Tools 11014, Slim Blade Straight Scissors, 4.5in
The Aven 11014 Slim Blade Straight Scissors provide a compact precision cutting option for fine wire and general bench use. Their 4-1/2-inch overall size and 1-1/4-inch blades suit controlled, small-scale cutting tasks, while fully polished stainless steel provides excellent corrosion resistance.
Best Uses / Applications
Consider the 11014 for fine-wire cutting and general precision work at assembly, repair and prototyping benches. The slim, straight blade format is an option when you want a compact pair of scissors rather than a dedicated wire cutter. Aven does not state a wire-gauge or wire-material capacity on the referenced page; confirm suitability for your specific wire before use.

| Application emphasis | Fine wire and general precision cutting. | Choose a model with an explicit material and diameter or AWG rating. |
| Capacity information | No wire-gauge capacity stated on the referenced manufacturer page. | Check the individual cutter's published capacity. |
| When to choose | When the scissors format suits the task and material compatibility is confirmed. | When the job requires a defined wire capacity or a particular flush/semi-flush finish. |
Use and Care
Use these scissors for suitable light precision tasks rather than assuming they can cut heavy or hardened wire. Inspect the blades before use, avoid forcing the cut and keep fingers clear of the edges. Clean and dry the tool after use. Stainless steel is corrosion resistant, not immune to corrosion; select cleaning methods compatible with the tool and your workplace procedures.
