Electrical-Insulating Scissors for Wire Cutting and Stripping
Insulated handles protect against shock from accidental contact with live electrical circuits. These scissors are tested to 1,000 volts to meet IEC 60900 and ASTM F1505. Also known as electricians' shears, they have a notch for stripping wire.

Electrical-Insulating Electrical and Data Cable Cutters
Insulated handles protect against shock from accidental contact with live electrical circuits. These cutters are tested to 1,000 volts to meet IEC 60900 and ASTM F1505. Use to cut aluminum and copper power and communication cable up to 1” dia. Operate cutters with both hands.

Electrical-Insulating Wire Rope Cutters
Insulated handles protect against shock from accidental contact with live electrical circuits. These tools are tested to 1,000 volts to meet IEC 60900 and ASTM F1505. They minimize material distortion while cutting steel, stainless steel, and aluminum wire rope. Operate these cutters with both hands.
Static-Control Wire Cutters
The grips drain static from your application, preventing buildup from electrostatic discharge (ESD) that can damage sensitive equipment. Also known as diagonal-cutting pliers.
Oval-head cutters are more durable than tapered-head cutters. Tapered-head cutters fit more easily in tight spaces than oval-head cutters, but they’re less durable.
Cut profile refers to the amount of pinch left on the tip of the wire after it has been cut. Pointed cutters produce a deeply pointed, pinched end. Use for electrical and general applications. Flush cutters produce a cut with virtually no pinch, creating clean connections for easy soldering. Flush-cut tools don’t last as long as pointed and semiflush.
Spring-assisted jaws open automatically when you release the handles.
