Wiss 175E5V Electrician Scissors 5.25 in Cutting Shear

Product Description

The WISS 175E5V is a compact electrician scissors designed for cutting and trimming tasks common in electrical work. With an overall length of 5.25 inches, this tool fits comfortably in a tool pouch or pocket, making it practical for field and panel work. The cutting shear design gives electricians a clean, controlled cut on wire insulation, cable ties, and similar materials. At 0.2 pounds, the scissors are lightweight enough for extended use without hand fatigue. This is a standard single-unit trade tool suited for licensed electricians and electrical maintenance technicians.

These scissors are well suited to residential and commercial electrical applications where a compact, handheld cutting tool is needed at the panel, in conduit runs, or during fixture and device installation. The 5.25-inch overall length makes them a practical secondary cutting tool alongside wire strippers and diagonal cutters. They are also useful for low-voltage work, communications wiring, and instrumentation tasks where precision trimming matters more than brute cutting force.
