Undercuts fretwire cleanly, in one operation

Fret Tang Nipper

Our friend Bill Collings (the founder of Collings Guitars) suggested the idea for this simple and precise tool. It does an outstanding job of undercutting fretwire to fit over neck bindings, and speeds up fret jobs on bound necks. It's easy to use — simply insert the wire to the desired depth in the guide notch, squeeze the handle, and the wire is cleanly undercut.
