Product Description

The PROTO J318SS is a pair of electrician scissors designed for wire trimming, cable insulation slitting, and general wiring tasks on the job. Built with a stainless steel blade and a plastic straight handle, these scissors are suited for daily use in electrical work environments. The ambidextrous straight handle design accommodates both left- and right-handed technicians without modification. Overall length falls in the 4 to 6.9 inch range, making them compact enough for work in panels and junction boxes. Licensed electricians and electrical apprentices are the primary users.
