D’Addario Tour Grade String Cutter – PW-TGSC-01

The D’Addario Tour Grade String Cutter is a proper string-cutting tool for guitarists, bassists, luthiers, repairers and guitar techs who want a cleaner, easier way to trim strings during restringing and setup work.

Built with long-lasting hardened blades and a compound-action cutting design, this cutter gives much more cutting force than standard pliers, making it easier to cut through guitar and bass strings with less effort. It is a useful tool to keep in a guitar case, workshop, gig bag or repair bench.

What does it actually do?
This cutter is designed specifically for trimming instrument strings. It gives a cleaner, more controlled cut than using general-purpose pliers, especially when dealing with heavier gauge electric guitar or bass strings.

The compound-action design helps transfer more force to the blades, so you do not need to squeeze as hard to make the cut. That makes it useful for anyone who changes strings regularly, whether at home, in a shop, in a repair workshop or on stage.
