Cable & Wire Cutters

Cable and wire cutters are tools that are a necessary part of a tool box or work shop and come in handy in a slew of situations across various industries. Electricians, building contractors and communications experts all require wire cutting tools on site on a daily basis. Even on small DIY projects around the home, wires and cables often need to be cut. Whatever the application, they need to be cut on the first click!

Professional cutting equipment works first time, every time. There is a wide range of cable and wire cutters, nippers and pliers available, many customised to specific tasks and applications. The cabling or wiring that needs to be cut may be made of copper, steel, aluminium, brass or even iron. Heavy duty wire cutters may be needed, for example for steel rope and sometimes the operation requires the cutting tool to have insulated handles.

All brand names famous for great cutting equipment are represented in the GetToolsDirect range: HIT, Milwaukee, Kincrome, Erdi and Knipex wire cutters.

Specialist cutters include those for electronic engineers and electricians, i.e. electrical stripping shears and insulation strippers, cable cutters and shears.
