How to sharpen wire cutters?

[Severinomotta]

People,

Didn't find a place to this thread so i post it here.

My cutters are not as good as they use to be.

Should i buy a new one or i can sharpen them like scissors or knifes?

Thanks,

Best.

You could sharpen them, small flat jeweler’s file would do the trick following the factory edge. Either that or get a new pair of flush cuts, Plato # 170 are great and cheap on EBay, also if you are in the US WALMART has some pretty good ones in the craft section.
