Made in the U.S.A., choose them separately or combine your choice with a cable splicer’s knife and a durable leather belt pouch for a simple, convenient solution.”

Ergo Electrician’s Scissors (part # 10515C)

These kits provide simple solutions for the professional installer. Each kit includes a 6-inch nickel plated cable splicer’s knife with a comfortable, non-slip grip, weighted handle, and your choice of scissors in a durable leather belt pouch.

Scissor-Run Scissors; 5-inch (part # 10517C)
