They are called scissors in the name (Ideal Industries 35-088 Electrician's Scissors with Stripping Notches) but snips are a trade name.
They're much heavier duty than the scissors you have in a home office, and they have more uses, but that doesn't mean they aren't scissors.
33 years of experience and we've always called them telecom shears, or just shears.
These make building CAT-5 cables sooo much faster. Thanks for the recommendation!
I use this for rolling cigarettes I’ve had them for months they work great tensioned like a scissor
these are my favorite and most important tool next to electrical tape i have two pairs of klein and another of which i dont remember the brand they are and i dont even use scissors any more these work for everything and last 10X longer they are awesome. thanks for the info in all the years i have had them i never thought about the rough outside to clean oxidization you learn something new every day thanks for the video
Man! I LOVE mine! They live on my desk in the shop most of the time and a second set in my truck box.
Thanks for explaining the extra features
If it looks like a duck, acts like a duck, and quacks like a duck... it probably is a duck. Pretty sure these are still a type of scissor ✂️.
Wish I had seen this before my recent video!!! First time seeing your content, subbed!!
I have pair, got one after a week-long training session on splicing phone lines, never used it again. I'm going to look for them.
There also good for cutting labels
Interesting stuff 🔧👍😊
Dr.K is an incredible soda, good choice.
Awesome video!!!
Cool video! I did a demo video on Technician usage as well. I do CCTV and Access Control.
I use Chinese shears for those same jobs, but they don't have the handy wire strippers!
You can also cut a penny in half with them! I've seen it done several times.
This video made me subscribe
These are scissors.
I'm a big fan of lineman snips. There is a similar style of larger leather shears that are quite good, too, and would be more comfortable for some of the off-label uses shown in this video. I had a pair I got from Tandy Leather (yes, the same Tandy, originally) back in the day but I don't know who made them and can't speak to similar ones on the market now. Search for leather shears and you should see a few that look related to the lineman snips. I'm sure my old pair were hardened like the snips but I don't know about the modern ones and, either way, a leatherworker would probably cry to see you cutting wire, fiberglass, window screen or thin sheetmetal with them.
And by the way Not electrician Cable splicer Tech 27 yeah😂 If you have grip and a penny cut it with some pain.
Makes me wonder what you call your "good scissors". My old wiss cut all that and leather fairly often.
Any of the scissors that are not mine, AKA the wife's. :)
They also cut skin very well. Unfortunately I know through experience.
Snips yes scissors no🤣
Focus!
LOL yeah! I did recently pick up a new camera that seems to be handling focus a lot better! I also now have a confidence monitor that allows me to see if it's out of focus. Oh the joys of this video hobby. :)
OK, but they're scissors.
No "buts", they are scissors. :D
SOME OF THESE SNIPS ARE OF A MUCH HIGHER QUALITY ( AND USUALLY PRICE)
Which are which?
good shears. but they're too small
All that only to hold them incorrectly lol. Middle or ring finger in furthest loop, closest loop pressed into palm!
The model you use is specifically referred to as electrician scissors. The ridges arent meant to scrape corrosion off a conductor, theyre designed and have the geometry pattern to act as a file.
LOL the correct way to hold them, is however they work for you. ;)
Looks like a duck quacks like a duck it’s a chicken
Quality control, is lacking here...not focused! ;-)
LOL Over the years I'm amazed at the poor quality of my older videos, not that the new ones are any better. :D
you're holding them like a girl - place one side into the curve of your hand for more leverage
My wife holds her smaller scissors like that, she puts one handle in her hand. I assumed she did that because she doesn't have a lot of strength in her hands. But yes, I could see if you needed more leverage, that may help. Good tip if someone is having issues with their grip!!
