Apex 175E5V Electrician Scissors Nickel Plated 1.75 in

Product Description

The APEX 175E5V is a pair of electrician scissors designed for cutting wire, string, and paper in electrical trade work. The blades are 1.75 inches long, finished in nickel plating, and constructed from steel for durability through repeated use. The bottom blade is serrated to grip and control material during the cut, reducing slippage on stranded wire and light cable. The handles carry the same nickel-plated finish as the blades. At 0.2 pounds, the tool is lightweight enough for all-day carry in a tool pouch or apron. Sold individually.

These scissors are suited for residential and commercial electrical work where a compact cutting tool is needed for wire trimming, cutting tie straps, slicing pull string, or trimming tape and paper insulation. The ambidextrous design accommodates both right-handed and left-handed technicians, making them practical for any crew. Electricians, low-voltage installers, and panel technicians are the primary users.

Installation Notes

Inspect blades for nicks or damage before use. Store with blade edges protected to maintain the serration edge.
