BETA 1128BSX Electrician's Scissors with Wire Stripping Notch, 145 mm, Stainless Steel, Orange/Black

On a busy installation site, an electrician reaches for the BETA 1128BSX to trim cable sheathing and strip conductors in one smooth motion. These 145 mm scissors combine a precision-ground stainless steel blade with an integrated stripping notch, so you can cut copper and aluminium cables up to 5 mm diameter without switching tools. The bi-material handles—polypropylene overmoulded with thermoplastic rubber—provide a secure, comfortable grip even during repetitive cuts, while the adjustable screw joint lets you fine-tune blade tension for clean, effortless action.

Why choose it

The bi-material handle reduces hand fatigue during long wiring tasks, and the bright orange accents make the scissors easy to spot in a crowded tool bag.

• Cutting copper and aluminium cables during electrical installations

Good to know

These scissors are not VDE insulated and should not be used on live circuits. For best performance, periodically clean the blades and apply a light machine oil to the joint. The stainless steel construction resists corrosion, making the tool suitable for humid or outdoor environments. BETA is a trusted Italian brand known for professional-grade hand tools, and the 1128BSX is covered by the manufacturer's warranty against defects in materials and workmanship.
