They are extremely well made, so if you’re after a tool for longevity, they’re going to get dropped and thrown in a tool bag, then I’d recommend Knipex all day long. A long established favoured brand among electricians and technicians the world over, the Knipex brand really is maximum quality for the money.Our trainer says, “I’ve had Knipex tools before and I’ve had some of their pliers going on 20 years.

With an ergonomic handle design, cable cutting is effortless and accurate, while the fitted pinch guard means you can always work safely. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average.

Other cable shears and cutters, such as the NWS cutters,” our trainer went on to explain, “don’t feel as good quality as these Knipex shears, but they would cut through the same cable with less effort and have a more ergonomic, comfortable handle. Due to the nature of their cutting edges, the cable shears must not be used to cut hard wire, however.
