With a high-leverage joint, long handles, and optimized cutting edges, our StepCut XL cable shears offer an easier cut compared to compact models. Featuring dual cutting areas, the step cutting edges position cables close to the joint, while the front cutting edge allows for gradual cutting ("nibbling") of larger cables.
