Review for NWS by SGKC Electrical
13th May 2021

Great product, I have the multi purpose side cutter and the “first fix” cutters, nice to handle cut through most stuff I throw at them, had a faulty pair (fell apart) and was replaced with no hassle, good price highly recommended over other cutters

Great hand tools, can’t fault them but I’m fairly sure they’re the exact same as the expensive Irwin range just with a re coloured grip because they do seem very similar especially with patterns and designs, either way, great tools, well built, German, what more can you want

Yes. Fantastic. Bought the 6 in 1 snips and they are brilliant. Nice and sharp and not bulky at all. Cheaper than the big boys at knipex and just as good in quality. Will be expanding my array of nws tools soon

Got the trio of cutters/pliers from nws. Pliers and cutters are great. Long nose pliers are a bit temprimental, not much grip at the end and seem to slip when under too much pressure.

My NWS pair of snips I had felt amazing in the hand, worked great and was fantastic to use for long hours of striping cores for second fixing. Would recommend these as a must try of your looking for something different to try and they look amazing too.

I got a few of these from Homebase when they had their clear out of expensive branded tools.
Side cutters, pliers, ferrule crimps and some screwdrivers.
They are pretty decent tools, it was an easy way to kit out quick but I was pleasantly surprised how comfortable they were to use. They have docks for attachments to make them spring loaded or to attach a tether for height working.
Very pleased with them.

Bought a pair of wire cutters by NWS, immediately liked the feel of them, so have now swapped all of my cutters/pliers to NWS. They have been excellent for the last 2 years and still cut like the day they were bought.

I’ve got four pairs of their pliers/side cutters and they get used everyday. The side cutters have a notch for bending the cable over , meaning you don’t need to change tools. It also has a handy 3.5mm hole for cutting socket screws The long nose pliers are great for pulling cables through the back of consumer units and tight holes.

Bought these at a tool fair and they chucked in a working at height lanyard which clipped to the handle ! A well thought out bit of kit ! Really like them but ....... I still go for my knippex snips as first choice think this is down to familiarity

Out of all the brands of sidecutters I’ve had these seem to stay sharpest the longest, nicely weighted and feel good in the hand. Would reccomend to anyone

I have a set of nsu electrical pliers/cutters for over 5 years. They have and still perform well. I have even tested (inadvertently) there inslating qualities, and except for a pop I was kept safe. I did have to get another pair of side cutter, I bought the exact same pair.

As an electrician I find the value these tools offer exceptional although I have to admit I don’t the quality lacking overall.
Always kept a pair of side cutters in my glove box as a contingency but they wore out faster than my daily use cutters from Bahco.
Again I’m more than happy with this result for the price I paid but in the interest of honesty they’re not quite up to industry standard for me.
Also slightly biased as I’m not a fan of cutters with cable stripping slots in the jaws as it makes cutting lengths of cable impossible because there’s always a 1mm and 2.5mm chunk left when you try to chop near the hinge of the jaws.

Bought a 3 piece pliers and cutter set in a mini Lboxx with foam insert. Great value for money.
Set contained long nose pliers, side cutters and normal pliers. Also got lanyards for them as working at heights on lighting installs. Perfect 3 piece for my job in the electrical industry. Robust and sharp when cutting as you would expect from NWS ... five stars

Bought 2 sets NWS cable cutters years ago. A little one and a big one. Absolutely superb little to no effort chopping through 10mm cables 25mm cables and bigger. To be honest having tried others quite disappointed that I've not been able to source a replacement for the big set since they were either lost or stolen.

I have the combination side cutters (with crimpers, strippers and screw cutter). This is a must have tool in my kit. Easy to use, very well made. Does 100% of my electrical requirements.
A bit more expensive, but when it comes to quality, I feel it doesn’t matter.

Have a set of the side cutters with the built in notches for stripping cable and cutting the 3.5mm terminal screws. I basically just use for cutting 3.5mm screws to size most of the time. And sometimes when doing cabinet work I will use for stripping cables. Well made product and when cutting screws works really well.

Had a few pair now and seem to be worth the money. The quality seems to be good and look no lasting as long as the apprentice doesn't cut socket screws with my side cutters.
