Why Choose Cable Shears?

Utilizing cable shears ensures:

  • Clean Cuts: The hardened blades are well precision-ground to give a clean cut, and do not crush or deform the cable.

  • Safety: Features like pinch guards avoid finger injuries while in use.

How to Choose the Right Cable Shears

Picking the right cable shears is mainly based on your needs.

  • Cutting Capacity: Check that the shears can cut the cables you are going to work with at their maximum diameter. Certain types can cut apart stranded copper and aluminum cables of 70 mm². 

  • Handle Design: The handles were ergonomic and contained non-slip that the user would feel comfortable.

  • Insulation: Insulated handles tested to 1000 V VDE are used for electrical work.
