Slim Sloped Bird Beak Pliers with TC Cutter and Grooves
Product Code: N21150389-TC
When Precision and Durability Both Have to Hold Up 
A wire that shifts mid-bend or a cutter that dulls faster than expected both cost you time you don’t have chairside. The Slim Sloped Bird Beak Pliers with TC Cutter and Grooves are built to remove both problems at once: integrated alignment grooves help guide and stabilize the wire while you bend it, and a Tungsten Carbide (TC) reinforced cutter is engineered to outlast a conventional steel edge.
Slim, tapered and sloped beaks keep your visibility and access open in confined intraoral areas, so you can move between bends, loops, coils and cuts in the same instrument, procedure after procedure.
Built for the Premium End of Daily Use
Featuring a precise box-joint construction that maintains accurate jaw alignment through repeated clinical use, this instrument combines a durable stainless steel body with hardened TC components for strength, precision and long-term reliability. It’s the kind of combination designed for clinicians who want enhanced cutter durability without sacrificing fine wire control.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the TC and grooves upgrade worth the extra cost over the standard cutter version?
If you cut ligatures and soft wires frequently, the tungsten carbide cutter is built to outlast a standard stainless steel edge, and the alignment grooves add wire stability during bending. For occasional use, the standard Slim Sloped Bird Beak Pliers with Cutter may be enough.
What do the alignment grooves on the beak actually do?
They are designed to help guide and stabilize the wire during manipulation, so the wire is less likely to shift or rotate in the beak while you form a bend, loop or coil.
What is the difference between its bending capacity and its cutting capacity?
The beak handles bending on round and rectangular wires up to approximately .022 in x .025 in, while the TC cutter is built for soft wires and ligatures up to approximately .012-.020 in. Using the cutter beyond that range is not recommended.
Can this one instrument handle first, second and third-order bends, loops and coils?
Yes. It is designed for first, second and third-order wire adjustments, as well as forming loops, coils and springs, which makes it a versatile instrument for detailed chairside and finishing work.
How does the tungsten carbide cutter hold up over years of daily sterilization?
Tungsten carbide is engineered for enhanced wear resistance compared with standard steel cutting edges, and combined with the stainless steel body and box-joint construction, the instrument is built for long-term reliability under repeated autoclave cycles. It is backed by a one-year warranty.
