I have super-sexy ÂŁ40 quid NWS side cutters, I found them awkward for anything over 2.5
I'm trying not to buy anything that isn't gs38 compliant.
Are you talking tin snips ?
you got conned mate. nws snips are cheap usually half that

bahco and knipex are cheaper and better (me and another lad have got a pair of bahco and there really good)

[ElectriciansForums.net] Clean Suggestions for Cutters 10-25mm

have a pair of these they work very well carnt vouch how long they will keep there edge as dont use cables this size a lot but for the price of a pint who cares
 
It's a damned sight easier with shears though, it's not a competition to see who can knackered their hands up first you know!
im just saying with a sharp pair of snips its not to hard.


a small pair of shears is perfect when you get used to them, can do everything from 1mm flex to 16/25mm with them easily
 
Hmmm ÂŁ38 I paid - TBH the alarm bells were ringing when I saw a pair last week, all rusted with flaky chrome peeling off them.

I though German brand - has to be good. Lesson learned

After a lot of hard graft.
My small finger on the right hand feels numb (like I've slept on it) , is that what you mean by knackered up hands.

Adding:
It's numb nr constant, but goes away if I don't work for a few days. :wacko:

Basically putting some 16mm Bonding in and wonder if there is any
EASY
CHEAP cutters that can handle it.

Tho bonding is 10-16mm ..i figured if it could do 25mm (tails) then it would be there if i need it for such a thing.
knipex 160mm shears are ÂŁ20

these are the ones i use, get the vde ones if you want there the same price but different code 95 11 165 for non vde and i think its 95 12 165 for vde

For reference mate, there's no such thing as Gs38 tools, Gs 38 is a guidance standard for test leads and only test leads, the main points are no more than 2mm exposed probe, fused leads and finger guards as well as a few other things. Every days a learning day, that's what we're all here for
