Electricians' scissors for wire prep
Jonard ES-1964DS Free Fall Electricians Scissors are 5-inch hand tools designed for electrical work. The free-fall hinge engages the blades in the last third of travel, allowing fingertip operation. One blade carries a serrated edge that grips wire for cleaner cuts and reduced hand fatigue. A scraper and file on the back of the blade add convenience for insulation cleanup.
Check wire gauge and handle preference
These scissors are rated for maximum wire thickness of 24 AWG, so verify that your typical conductors fall within that range. The handles are steel with a silver finish and an ergonomic profile; confirm the grip style suits your hand and glove use. The chrome vanadium steel jaws with chrome finish resist wear, but ensure the tool length fits your pouch or belt.
Light weight and manual operation
At 0.23 lb the scissors add minimal load to a tool belt and produce no motor noise or heat. Cutting force comes entirely from hand pressure, so power draw is not a factor. The loose hinge action keeps blade movement smooth during repetitive snips, reducing wrist strain over long sessions. California Proposition 65 warnings apply for cancer and reproductive harm.

Questions about this item
What comes in the box with the Jonard ES-1964DS scissors and do I need to buy anything extra?
The package contains the free-fall electrician scissors with chrome vanadium steel blades, a serrated edge, a scraper and a file on the blade back; no extra items are required for basic cutting tasks.
How do I choose between the available versions or capacities of these scissors?
The ES-1964DS is offered as a single 5-inch model rated for 24 AWG maximum wire thickness, so there are no alternative capacities to select from.
What does the free-fall hinge actually do when I am cutting wire on the job?
The hinge engages the blades only in the last third of their travel, staying loose enough for fingertip control while the serrated edge grips the wire for cleaner cuts and less hand fatigue.
