Tools and Hardware Reviews of Xcelite 170M General Purpose Shearcutter, Diagonal, Flush Jaw, 5" Length, 3/4" Jaw length, Red Grip

Customer Review: Does The Job, Comfortable Handles
Summary: 5 Stars

Highly useful little tool when cutting small wires. Makes neat cuts. The company web site indicates that "Greatly reduced mechanical shock delivered to the work" is an advantage, not sure if that's really an issue with this size wire. Seems durable so far, and matches the quality of my other Xcelite tools, some of which are approaching 20 years of use.

The handles are very comfortable, better than I can say for a lot of other tools!

The only drawback I would note is that the unit stays open, with no provision to lock closed. This exposes the short blades to nicks and eventual dulling from other tools in the tool box or bag. My advice is to either keep it in the blister pack, which will eventually crack, or pack it in a side pocket to avoid damage. A rubber band or conical tip cover might also work - something like a large wire nut, but flexible.

Made in the USA.

Probably not the right tool to cut Romex, but otherwise a recommended tool and handy for its intended use.
