Which tools should you choose for cutting cables and wires?

Cable knives, scissors and cutters differ in terms of structure, design (drive), materials and insulation, which is why it is so important to precisely select a tool for a specific application. You should check what cross-sections (maximum cable diameter) the selected tool is suitable for and – if necessary – make sure that it can handle cutting, for example, braided steel cables, copper wires or multi-core cables. Important information about the product is the VDE certificate, which indicates that the scissors can be used when working under voltage. The handle should be ergonomic, allowing for long-term work without feeling tired, optimal transfer of force and stable hold.

Universal scissors and wire strippers

Selected tool models are equipped with a function for stripping insulation from various types of wires and cables. Working with multi-function pliers is faster and more comfortable. An electrician does not have to reach into the toolbox for the right tool every now and then. Universal scissors and cutters are great for various renovation works. On the other hand, special, manual insulation strippers and automatic insulation strippers can be found in a separate category "Insulation stripping tools". Stripping the insulation and exposing the right section of the wire is often enough to prepare the cable for connection to a given electrical device. Sometimes you also need to use the right tip or connector. That is why it is worth equipping the toolbox with a set of popular tips and connectors. Not sure which cable and wire tool to choose?
