Post by Jaeger_S2k »

Hi,
Looking for the sparks to share what the better electrical side cutters?

What other tools do you recommend for the tool box/bag?

I also have a pair of Teng wire cutters that are really good for cutting meter tails, but I can't find them on the teng website.

My preferred tool makers, are Irazola for screwdrivers, and Knipex for cutters and pliers.
Such as these, Never had aproblem with them, other than slight electrical,blowing holes in them type accidents :oops: :oops:

If it isnt broke dont bloody touch it until it bloody well is and if it is broke then make drawing of the connections before you remove the broken one and replace with a new one LoL

I have a pair of the KNIPEX side cutters like on sparkydudes attachment, but with built in wire strippers.

Cost around £20 tho! :o

Knipex are probably the finest cutters around, even snap-on sell knipex made pliers/cutters.
