The electrician’s snip that does more than snip

Electrical work is full of small but important tasks. Cutting cable, stripping wire, trimming materials, crimping connectors and cleaning up awkward cuts all add up over the course of a day. Constantly switching between tools can slow the job down, which is why keeping a versatile electrician’s snip within easy reach can make everyday work that little bit easier.

The 185mm Sterling Black Panther Electrician’s Cable Snips are designed to handle a wide range of common tasks in one compact tool, helping you spend less time reaching for another tool and more time getting the job done.

Cut, strip and crimp with one tool

The 185mm Sterling Black Panther Electrician’s Cable Snips combine several everyday functions into one practical design, making them an ideal knife replacement for many electrical applications.

An integrated wire cutter built into the blade is suitable for cutting and stripping copper and aluminium wire up to 2.5mm in diameter, while the dual blade crimper built into the handles allows you to crimp terminals without reaching for another tool.

Angled blades for control

The long, ergonomic, angled blades are designed to provide visibility and control while cutting or stripping. Their curved profile makes it easy to guide the material and position the blades precisely, particularly when working in confined spaces or awkward positions.

Serrated blades that grip

The Japanese 420J2 stainless steel corrosion-resistant blades feature a serrated cutting edge that grips the material as you cut, reducing blade slip and improving control. The blade design is also well-suited to cutting air and grease lines, helping reduce the risk of flattening the tubing.

Designed for everyday

These snips feature anti-slip TPR handles, an upgraded ambidextrous locking clasp with comfort grip and a smooth operating mechanism for repeated use. They also contain no aluminium, making them suitable for environments where aluminium tools are not permitted.

One tool, plenty of everyday uses

Although designed with electricians in mind, these snips are just as useful for a variety of other jobs.

From cutting cable, plastic, wire, pipe, rubber tubing, leather, carpet, aluminium, and light sheet metal, through to gardening, camping, food preparation and general jobs around the home, they’re the sort of tool you’ll find yourself reaching for time and time again.

No single tool replaces every specialist tool on the job, but the right multi-purpose snip can handle a surprising number of everyday tasks.

With integrated cable-cutting, stripping and crimping functions, ergonomic angled blades and durable serrated stainless-steel construction, the Sterling Black Panther Electrician’s Cable Snips are designed to help make everyday work simpler.
