They are well made, last well and are smooth to use. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Outstanding Product!!! *by B***C on November 24, 2025* An Outstanding Qualty Specialty tool! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Just the best sidesnips out there IMO for light duty *by B***R on December 29, 2023* If you do low volt work, you need to at least try these. I think I'm up to 5 or 6 pair now. While I don't make cables anymore for a living, these were essential when I did. I found them to offer the best control, precision, predictability and end result. I still occasionally use them for cables, and they always put a smile on my face. They're used around the house and garage mostly these days, and always manage to make themselves useful. For field repair inspections, I generally just took a pouch with me with a few items - small screwdriver, electrician scissors, flashlight - stuff like that. 9 times out of 10, these came out for something. They'll strip wire jackets all day and are absolutely essential when working with RJ terminations and small shielded cable. Maybe their best trick though is cutting zipties. Not only just cutting them off, which they do so well, but cutting them flush at the clasp. It not only gives a clean look, but eliminates the little razor blades you get from using any other cutter. If you've ever been cut by a ziptie, you know what I mean. If you haven't, you aren't living. ## Frequently Bought Together - Weller 170MN Xcelite General Purpose Shearcutter | 170MN - Weller 70 Watt Digital Soldering Station | WE1010NA - Weller Genuine 5 Piece Tip Set for WE1010NA | ETSET-5 --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.at/products/41742183-weller-170mn-xcelite-general-purpose-shearcutter-170mn](https://www.desertcart.at/products/41742183-weller-170mn-xcelite-general-purpose-shearcutter-170mn) --- *Product available on Desertcart Austria* *Store origin: AT* *Last updated: 2026-07-26*
