Get yourself a pair of D-snips, specifically a pair with a long handle on one side. Give em a try on a job. They're scissors custom designed for low voltage work. Fluke and Klein make great ones. One blade on the scissor is serrated to keep wires from slipping away, and the ends are ground flat so you can cut zip ties without knicking. Sharp enough you can easily cut paper, sturdy enough to cut a penny in half. You hold them weird with the small handle through your ring finger, so make sure you watch a video to get the idea. Makes them comfortable to hold for a long time, keeps it from slipping out of your hand, and gives you lots of leverage if you need to bear down. My favorite tool ever I keep a pair in the kitchen for when I really need to cut something lol.

snips (scissors) vs diagonals and when to use them with low voltage… carry both. #lowvoltage #tools

Klein has a J2000-48 that has the angled head & journeyman grip like the Knipex. They are worth a try too.

Unfortunately knipex. I try to buy amarican but all pliers I’m switching to knipex

Electrician here. I own both and prefer the Klein. The knipex model shown here are very nice and feel good in the hand but the leverage is LESS than Klein. Notice the rivet to the cutting knives, Klein is higher which provides more leverage. The knipex will require more force to cut through MC cable versus the Klein. This is why most Electricians prefer the 10" Knipex diags which I do not own so I can't comment on. I wish the 8" Knipex had the leverage of the Klein cos I prefer the handle shape. Knipex cutting knives are aligned better then Klein which provide a clean, precise cut such as tape, aircraft cable, or the silk string in low volt cables. Both are great tools though.

Weidmüller KT8. Best one for cutting cables. (regular ones ofc)
