C.K T39071-3180 RedLine VDE Combicutter3MAX 180mm

As an electrician I go through a fair amount of cable cutters / snips etc. These are excellent. They cut at 1.5mm or 2.5mm perfectly with cut in grooves on the blade for easy placement, and whilst the cable cutting action is good, the actually snipping action for basic insulation is perfect. I really enjoy using these and would highly recommend them to anyone thinking of buying top quality cable snippers

These CK combination wire cutters are excellent quality and extremely sharp. They were a little stiff when they arrived but a small drop of oil on the hinge soon loosened them up and they now operate perfectly.Fit nicely in the hand and offer very good protection as would be expected from C.K.The wire stripping grooves worked surprisingly well as did the wire bending anvil.These are quality wire cutters that I expect and hope will serve me well for many years.

Brilliant pair of snips. I was cautious about the wire stripping holes not allowing me to cut cables off the reel in 1 go but it's perfect size. 2.5 TE is fine with room to spare on the blades... 3 core is the maximum these can handle imo which is fine for most installers.Stripping holes are very sharp. Do not squeeze tight as it will score the copper. when using the 2 copper stripping holes, also dont drag the snips along the copper to slide off the brown or blue sheath you have just strippedTerminating anvil is the main reason I purchased these snips, because previously 2.5 has always been a hassle to get completely folded over and flush for me.... these do a perfect job once you practice a bit....

Perfect for me, does exactly what I need and very handy having the 3.5 faceplate screw cutter and bending notch, will definitely buy again

I'm a trainee electrician and these are perfect

These are probably the best cable cutters you will ever buy. Expensive but worth it. Very powerful cutting action so you have to be careful if using them to strip insulation as it is easy to misalign and cut the cable instead. I am not convinced by the wire bending notch as I still had to use pliers to finish the bend and squash it flat, so I stuck to that method instead.

I bought the pliers, having been given an Amazon voucher for my birthday, from my son. I liked everything about them and read other reviews before purchase. I'm delighted and have used them on a number of electrical jobs at home to date. They cut and snip great and the 1.5 and 2.5 wire stripping facility, is a bonus. I'd highly recommend them to any competent DIY'er, or trade electrician. Good brand too!

Have lasted me 3 years and are a lot nicer to use than knippex equivalents. I've always thought the knippex ones were too bulky and don't seem to be as easy or nice to use, so after using a pair of these I had to buy my own pair. The 1.5mm² and 2.5mm² stripping holes also come in very handy, as do the 3.5mm and 4.0mm screw cutting holes.
