Cannot fault my knipex side cutters. Easy to use and feel great in the hand. Staying sharp is the guarantee you will get from the brand.
Always worked with sparks who raved about these snips and they have always been a sort of status symbol in the tool kit.
Best side cutters on the market for me.

For electricians Knipex side cutters, pliers and grips are the best on the market, they are superior build quality to any I have used in the past and less bulky to hold than some of the other brands out there without compromising the safety rating.

I have only ever owned knipex cutters these where the first pair of cutters I ever bought I think in the past 12 years iv gone through about 3 pairs mainly because I blew them up :-( but I will never change from them they are a bit on the pricier side but you get what you pay for. They feel great in the hand and have never let me down .

This is the usual knipex quality , solid , holds an edge with abuse on SWA , even with a handle soaked in oil you can still handle them , only downside is most side cutters come with cut outs for cable stripping and what not so lack of features is low

I have always bought cheap wire cutters as I’m not a electrician however after a electrician left me with a pair I decided to use them whilst he was away.
Thank god he did I feel I have been struggling all my life! No more cheap cutting tools for me. A pure joy to use.

Great snips especially for tough cable the extra length on the handle give you plenty of room to get good grip when cutting large cables. Have had 2 sets of these in 10 years so great quality too.

Excellent cutters, my go to ones are Bahco but I have these too and it's a very close second for me. They both perform just as well but prefer how th Bahco ones fit in my hand. Personal preference is all it boils down to.
