FAQs
What is the primary purpose of these scissors?
These are specialized scissors designed for electricians, integrating cable cutting, wire stripping (10-18 AWG), and crimping functions alongside general cutting.
What type of material are the blades made of?
The blades are made of premium, corrosion-resistant stainless steel.
Can these scissors cut through tough materials like wire rope?
These scissors are designed for electrical wires and cables. They are not intended for cutting heavy-duty materials like wire rope or hardened metals, which could damage the blades.
What is the recommended wire gauge for the stripper?
The wire stripper is designed for gauges between 10 AWG and 18 AWG (approximately 6.0 to 0.75 mm²).
How should I maintain the scissors to prevent rust?
Wipe them clean after use, dry them thoroughly, and store them in a dry place. Periodically applying a light coat of lubricating oil to the pivot and blades is also recommended.
Are the handles comfortable for extended use?
Yes, the scissors feature bi-material ergonomic handles designed for a comfortable and secure grip to reduce fatigue during prolonged work.
What is the length and weight of the tool?
The scissors are 152mm (6 inches) long and weigh approximately 90g.
Troubleshooting
Blades feel stiff or difficult to open/close
Clean the pivot area and blades thoroughly. Apply a small amount of lubricating oil to the pivot and work the handles back and forth to distribute the lubricant.
Wire stripping is uneven or nicks the conductor
Ensure you are using the correct slot for the wire gauge (10-18 AWG). Verify that the micro-serrated blades are clean and free of debris. Try to maintain consistent pressure and a steady pull.
Cable cutter is not cutting cleanly
Check the cutting edges for any damage or dullness. Ensure the cable is positioned correctly in the cutting area of the blades. For very thick cables, ensure it falls within the intended cutting capacity.
Crimping function does not feel secure
Confirm you are using the appropriate terminal for the crimping function. Ensure the terminal is correctly seated in the crimping jaws. This tool's crimper is designed for basic, common electrical terminals.

Care: To maintain optimal performance and longevity:
- Cleaning: After each use, wipe the blades and stripper clean with a dry cloth to remove debris. For stubborn residue, use a slightly damp cloth and dry thoroughly immediately.
- Lubrication: Periodically apply a light coat of machine oil or WD-40 to the pivot point and blades to ensure smooth operation and prevent rust.
- Storage: Store the scissors in a dry environment. Avoid exposure to excessive moisture or corrosive substances.
- Avoid Overload: Do not use the tool for tasks beyond its intended capacity, such as cutting thick metal wire or hardened materials, as this can damage the blades.
