Electricians Scissors, Wire Cable Scissors
Electrician Scissors, which are also called cable scissors or wire scissors. They have ergonomic designing that can snip electrical applications, and the serrated teeth allow for non-slip cutting action.
Why Choose SHUNG WEI as Your Electrician Scissors OEM Partner?
Japanese Stainless Steel (JFE SUS 420J2)
We utilize high-grade SUS 420J2 stainless steel supplied by Japan’s JFE Steel. This material delivers superior blade hardness, corrosion resistance, and long-lasting sharpness required for heavy-duty wire stripping and cable cutting.
High-Impact PA66 Handle Material
SHUNG WEI integrates PA66 nylon for handle construction, providing high impact resistance, thermal stability, and ergonomic comfort. These material specs ensure our electrician scissors meet demanding jobsite requirements and custom OEM standards.
Over 50 Years of OEM Manufacturing Experience
Manufactured in Changhua, Taiwan since 1972, SHUNG WEI leverages over 50 years of expertise to support international brands with end-to-end OEM/ODM custom scissor design, tooling, and private label production.
Precision Cutting Performance & Engineering Solutions
Electrical wiring and network cabling involve multi-layered media—including tough PVC/PE jackets, slippery Kevlar® rip yarns, and soft copper or aluminum conductors. Conventional smooth blades frequently cause round cables to slip outward during the squeeze, while the uneven resistance between tough insulation and ductile copper leads to blade edge roll, burred wire ends, and severe hand fatigue during repetitive termination jobs.
SHUNG WEI eliminates these job-site failures through three core engineering standards:
Direct-Sourced Japanese JFE SUS 420J2 Stainless Steel
Selected for exceptional impact toughness and balanced edge elasticity. Processed through computer-controlled hardening and tempering, the blade withstands repetitive mechanical shock from shearing solid and stranded conductors without edge chipping or micro-cracking.
Dual Blade Geometry (Micro-Serration & High-Leverage Notch)
The upper cutting edge features precision-ground micro-serrations to grip round cable jackets and slippery synthetic ripcords, preventing outward slippage. An integrated near-pivot High-Leverage Notch maximizes mechanical advantage, allowing clean shearing of thicker copper conductors with minimal squeeze force.
Fineblanking & Structural Virgin Handles
Precision Fineblanking eliminates shear-lip micro-fractures, ensuring precise blade alignment and smooth pivot movement. Handles are molded from 100% virgin PA66 + PA6 engineering resin (DSM Novamid / Radipol) overmolded with ergonomic TPV grips, ensuring zero handle deflection and comfortable, non-slip leverage during high-volume field wiring.
Model Selection Guide
| Application / Scenario | Recommended Blade Feature | Handled Materials | Functional Advantage |
|---|---|---|---|
| Data Telecom & Low-Voltage Cabling | Single-Side Micro-Serrations + Dual Wire-Stripping Notches | Cat 5e/6/6A UTP/STP cables, internal aramid ripcords, signal wires | Traps slick cable jackets for slip-free slicing; strips insulation jackets cleanly without nicking interior copper conductors. |
| Industrial Panel & Electrical Rough-In | Heavy-Duty Micro-Serrated Blade + Near-Pivot High-Leverage Notch | Solid/stranded copper wire, flexible multi-core cables, plastic raceways | High-Leverage Notch concentrates shearing force near the pivot fulcrum, reducing hand effort when cutting multi-strand copper cables. |
| Control Cabinet & Ferrule Termination | Compact Micro-Serrated Shears + Handle Ferrule Crimper Slot | Control wiring, lead wires, terminal ferrules (bootlace lugs) | Combines flush wire cutting, jacket stripping, and basic terminal crimping into a single tool to reduce tool-swapping cycles. |
Why Choose SHUNG WEI as Your Electrician Scissors OEM Manufacturer?
Japanese JFE SUS 420J2 Stainless Steel
SHUNG WEI uses SUS 420J2 stainless steel supplied by Japan’s JFE Steel for its scissor blades. This steel grade is suitable for cutting tools and supports the hardness and cutting performance required for electrician scissors. Selected models feature serrated blades and cutting edges with a hardness of up to 56 HRC, depending on the model.
Handle Materials for Different Model Requirements
SHUNG WEI uses different handle materials and constructions depending on the electrician scissors model, including nylon-based materials, fiberglass-reinforced nylon, and other material combinations. Ergonomic handle designs are available on selected models to support comfortable handling during wire stripping and cable cutting.

Technical FAQ
Q How does the micro-serrated and notched blade design improve electrical cable preparation over standard utility snips?
A Standard utility blades push cylindrical, flexible cables away from the pivot during closure. SHUNG WEI’s precision micro-serrations grip slippery outer sheaths to prevent forward slippage, while the dedicated near-pivot High-Leverage Notch positions heavier copper conductors close to the fulcrum to maximize mechanical leverage for clean, single-stroke cuts.
Q Can these electrician scissors be used to cut steel wire, steel-armored cable, or live circuits?
A No. These shears are engineered exclusively for non-ferrous conductors (copper, aluminum) and synthetic cable insulation. Cutting hardened steel wire, ACSR, screws, or steel armor will crush the micro-serrations and permanently damage the blade alignment. Additionally, while the virgin PA66/TPV handle provides comfort and basic low-voltage utility grip, it is not VDE-certified for live-line work; always disconnect power before cutting.
