KNIPEX 9521165 Spring-Loaded Cable Shears for Professional Use

A. Nonymous: As a firefighter I use cutters all the time, from accident scenes to potential self-rescue situations. These cutters are compact enough to fit in my radio pocket, but large enough to use with turnout gloves on. In my particular case I stripped off the handles, and re-wrapped them in grip tape then used shrink tubing to put a tubular webbing loop on them (so I don't lose them if I need to drop them quickly). Great tool!

swoosie: Great wire cutters. This is my second pair. Easy one Handed operation. I have used many different types of pliers and these hands down are the best. From #18 gauge to #3 perfect for stripping wire

Sean R.: Great tool. Nice clean cuts... Just be sure your finger doesn't sneak down into the space at the front of the handles... it pinches really well and works better than coffee!

RClancy: Good quality shears, exactly what I'd expect from Knipex. The one thing I'd caution against is the max wire size advertised. I used it to cut #2 awg stranded copper, and it barely was able to cut that. It might make it through #1/0 gauge if you have forearms like Popeye, but I sure wouldn't want to try it.

Julien Larocque: Great tool! Cut very easely any electric cable of plastic wire. The cuted tip is very clean (not crushed as with regular cuter) I love them. But do NOT atemps at any time to cut steel, as it will chip the edge and they will never feel the same...

Alec KennyAlec Kenny: I am a commercial/industrial electrician and lately I've been searching for a better tool for cutting AND stripping aluminum clad MC/BX cable. I've always felt like there must be a better tool for the job than diagonal cutters which take a lot of force and leverage to cut through MC. I purchased the Klein BX cutting shears (1104) with high hopes and while they work pretty well, they don't always make a complete cut all the way through the cable. The Knipex cutters do a much better job of cleanly shearing through the entire cable. While these Knipex cable shears are only about 6 inches long, they cut with much less effort than even an 8 inch pair of diagonal cutters. This puts much less strain on the users wrist after a long day of use. The nose of the cutters is also able to get under the jacket of the MC for stripping off the outer aluminum casing leaving a nice clean edge without nicking the condutcors underneath. This overall makes this a fantastic tool for MC and BX rough-in jobs. It is important to note that cutting steel clad MC/BX cable will likely destroy the tool so its crucial to be aware of what you are cutting. Of course these also excell at cutting small to medium...
