Jarabak Pliers with T.C. Cutter
Product Code: N21150394
An Edge That Doesn’t Give Up Early 
A cutter that dulls fast becomes an instrument you avoid using — right when you need it most. The Jarabak Pliers with T.C. Cutter solve that with tungsten carbide cutting inserts that hold a clean edge far longer than conventional hardened steel, paired with the same precision tapered bending beaks that define the Jarabak line.
The result is one instrument that bends, forms and trims orthodontic archwires with exceptional control, and keeps performing that way through far more cutting cycles before it’s time to reach for a replacement.
Built for the Long Run
Manufactured from premium surgical stainless steel with tungsten carbide cutting edges, this instrument combines outstanding durability, corrosion resistance and ergonomic handling. The tungsten carbide edges maintain their sharpness significantly longer than conventional stainless steel cutters, making this an excellent choice for orthodontists prioritizing efficiency and long-term performance.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the tungsten carbide upgrade worth the difference over the standard cutter version?
If you cut wire frequently throughout the day, yes — tungsten carbide holds a sharp, clean edge far longer than precision-hardened steel, which means fewer instrument replacements and more consistent cuts over the instrument’s life.
How much longer does tungsten carbide actually last compared to precision-hardened steel?
Tungsten carbide is significantly harder and more wear-resistant than conventional hardened stainless steel, so it maintains a clean cutting edge through substantially more cutting cycles before performance starts to decline.
Does the T.C. cutter affect bending performance in any way?
No. The tapered serrated bending beaks are unchanged — the tungsten carbide is isolated to the cutting section, so you get the upgraded cutting durability without any trade-off in bending control.
Is this the best long-term option in the Jarabak line if I want to minimize replacements?
For a high-use, dual-function instrument, yes. The T.C. cutting inserts are the most durable option in the line, making this version the strongest choice if you’re optimizing for longevity rather than upfront cost.
What happens when the T.C. inserts eventually dull?
Tungsten carbide inserts are engineered for extended service life under normal clinical use. As with any cutting instrument, cutting performance should be monitored over time, and OrthodentalUSA can advise on servicing or replacement once wear becomes noticeable.
