Crescent 7 in. VDE Insulated Diagonal Cutting Pliers

Great set of plier. I’ve used them for all my electrical work. I even used them for other various cutting tasks and they have performed at them all. Only complaint is they are a little stiff out of the box.

These Cutting Pliers fit well in your hand but our of the package they initially were stiff and hard to function with one hand like I'm used to. They were sharp and did the job but in order to open them i'd have to use two hands.

Nice and Sharp, they seem to hold their edge well. The insulated handles provide for a nice grip. My biggest complaint with all of the Crescent tools that I own is the unfinished sharpness of some of the tool edges, a few seconds on a wheel would do wonders for the finish.

This a a great pair of diagonal cutters. I tested it out on multiple gauges of wire with and without shielding and it sliced through like butter with a clean edge. They feel nice and sturdy in your hand, and while I am inclined to test the safety feature on current, I will take their word and reputation for it. You shouldn't really be cutting live wires anyway, but I will update if I ever make that "oops'!
