The geometry of the cutter edge allows for very flush cuts, ensuring precision in bead work, wire cutting, and other tasks. While these cutters are not specifically designed for cutting guitar strings, they should work fine with nylon strings. For metal strings, it is suggested to use the Xuron Hard Wire cutter. The Maxi Shear is capable of cutting up to 14 gauge soft wire. According to customer reviews, these cutters are versatile and have found great use in various professions including boat technicians. They are described as strong, sharp, and durable- superior to other brands such as Snap-On.

One small drawback mentioned in some reviews is that the handles may not be the most comfortable, although this is more applicable to Xuron's other pliers. For quick snips, the comfort of the handles may not be a significant issue. Additionally, these cutters are lightweight and suitable for both home/studio use and for taking on the go. Overall, the Xuron Maxi-Shear Flush 2175 cutters provide excellent performance and value for the price.
