S&R VDE Diagonal Side Cutters

Seems to be just as good as some of the more dearer brands. How long it will stay sharp to cut through mains cables, only time will tell, but so far it's going strong.

Had these for about 2 years now as an electrician and can't fault them. Still sharp and cuts through smaller cables without any issues.

This looks and feels well made and of decent quality, I was thinking of getting a knipex vde cutter, but it’s not something I use that regularly and I’m pleased with this as an alternative.

Really pleased with these cutters. Used on first fix wiring installation and they cut through cable like through butter.

Bought these to replace an old pair of wire cutters, and they're great. Very well made with great insulated handles they have accurate, close-cutting jaws. For electrical cable they are great; clean cuts, accurate and very easy to use. I like the colored handles too! Recommended.

I bought it to cut my 2mm thick stainless steel chains. I used my other cheaper side cutter but it was so difficult to cut and usually with a lot of effort, it took 20 mins to do just one cut, so I thought I'd like to try this to save time and energy. Out of my surprise, with just one shot and in one second, my 2mm chain is cut off! I noticed this side cutter looks very sturdy when it arrived. The handle was strong, and the blades were sharp. There was no gap between the blades. It's totally worth the price.

As described good quality

Bought these as I don’t do as much electrical work as previous and couldn’t justify paying the price for the usual branded products. They are comfortable to hold and are sharp. Time will tell how long the blades keep there edge but certainly for now I don’t see any notable difference to those costing 2 or 3 times the price. Happy with the purchase and would recommend (longevity aside as it’s too early to say).
