Aven Tools 11011 Multipurpose Electrician Scissors with Wire Stripper, 2-Inch Blade
Aven Tools 11011 Multipurpose Electrician Scissors with Wire Stripper, 2-Inch Blade
The Aven Tools 11011 multipurpose electrician scissors combine cutting and wire stripping in one compact hand tool. Stainless steel blades, one serrated blade edge and a wire-stripping notch support preparation of soft cable wire, while ergonomic PP+TPR grips provide comfortable handling.
For a bench task that moves from trimming wire to removing insulation, the integrated notch keeps both functions within reach without switching tools. The scissors have 2-inch blades and a 6-inch overall length.
