In this video, we are going to talk about the best low voltage snips according to the Low Voltage Nation Facebook Group community. If you enjoy these and learn something from them, be sure to subscribe, hit the notification bell, and smash the like button!
Intro
I’m Blake, the founder of Low Voltage Nation: the place where we help people carve out a fulfilling career path in low voltage and technology. If you are looking for a solid pair of snips or are getting into the industry, then this video is for you!
I ran a poll on the Low Voltage Nation Facebook Group and had some great responses… and not-so-great responses, lol.
I wonder if some of these low volts actually use their teeth
Southwire
Let’s go over the top 4 starting with Southwire. These are spring-loaded and give a lot of leverage, however, they seem to dull quicker than other snips.
Fluke
I know several that swear by the Fluke snips. They have an ergonomic design and provide a lot of leverage.
Knipex
They call these “shears” and they are intended for cabling. They are rather bulky but also feel really good in the hand. They are super sharp and you can feel how high quality they are, which is what Knipex is known for.
Check out the pronunciation of Knipex:

Klein
These won by a landslide with 114 votes compared to Knipex with 20. They are somewhat of an industry standard. They cut well and are smaller than most snips… and you can cut coins with it.
Overall, Klein appears to be more popular, but Knipex appears to be a superior

It's a personal preference. I bought several model of Klein snippers throughout the years as the backups when they were on sales, but I have been only using Knipex snippers on the daily basis for over two decades.
Had my Kleins break after it fell outta my pouch. Getting the knipex in the mail.
Been an install tech for a decade. I used kleins for years but I’ve fallen in love with Jonnard Fiber shears. I can do anything I can do with kleins but better. Sharpest snips I’ve ever used.
Same! People are sleeping on the jonnards
Well Done!
Thank you Darren!
Have you tried the vamplier shears?
I bought the Knipex just cause i have liked every other tool i have purchased from them but these weren’t for me yes they cut like a hot knife through butter but i am just too use to the traditional snips ergonomics so i went back to ny go to snips made by platinum tools there great quality and cut excellent
I'm new to your channel I just wanted to add that Harbor Freight has these snips from their line Quinn and they're actually not that bad. I don't know what they're called but the serrations on the backside of the snips help score and/or just strip individual small annoying wires
Looks like HF's Quinn brand shears are basically a copy of the Crescent Wiss 6" scissors (discontinued). I have some and they seem good for the price.
Have worked in the telecoms industry in the UK for many years, and I don't recall anyone ever using shears/scissors, but rather always diagonal cutters, usually 6" sometimes 5"...Why do you guys prefer shears for cutting wires/cables?
Ive hung over 3000 Hikvision cameras in my 8 years experience and i couldnt imagine really using snips vs diagonal cutters i prefer to use 8” variants with great results.
Been a telecoms engineer for years and the CK scissors were a game changer, saves carrying cutters and stripper. Just use the scissors to do both jobs, it’s easy not to go too deep into the copper especially when your fixing people’s fuck ups and there isn’t any slack in the back box
Nice hat 😉
Thanks!

Hello
The yellow handle klein snips are trash. I have a 2 month old pair and it should cut velco easily but they don't. The only reason knipex isn't as popular is because only klein is sold at home depot otherwise you'd see a lot more of those knipex snips which i might check out now myself.
Please, I was ready to order the Klein 21010-6 (Carbon steel version) electritian snips. Are these the model you're refering to, when you said they dull fast? They cost twisce as much where I live and I was ready to order those. I'm not an electritian, I need them for general use, I work in maintenance and I also fixe everybody's stuff, so I 'd order these, to always have them on me. Are the Olfa SCS-2, going to be a better option, or go with Knipex?
@@greekveteran2715get the klein tempered steel version. 2100 model not the high carbon steel
@@greekveteran2715 the Knipex are just fantastic. Once you try them out, you will be sold on them.
I agreed. See my comments above
