    I am a commercial/industrial electrician and lately I've been searching for a better tool for cutting AND stripping aluminum clad MC/BX cable. I've always felt like there must be a better tool for the job than diagonal cutters which take a lot of force and leverage to cut through MC. I purchased the Klein BX cutting shears (1104) with high hopes and while they work pretty well, they don't always make a complete cut all the way through the cable. The Knipex cutters do a much better job of cleanly shearing through the entire cable. While these Knipex cable shears are only about 6 inches long, they cut with much less effort than even an 8 inch pair of diagonal cutters. This puts much less strain on the users wrist after a long day of use. The nose of the cutters is also able to get under the jacket of the MC for stripping off the outer aluminum casing leaving a nice clean edge without nicking the condutcors underneath. This overall makes this a fantastic tool for MC and BX rough-in jobs. It is important to note that cutting steel clad MC/BX cable will likely destroy the tool so its crucial to be aware of what you are cutting. Of course these also excell at cutting small to medium sized copper and aluminum conductors as intended. The Knipex cable shears are an extremely versatile tool while also being compact and lightweight and have found a permanent place in my tool pouch. I highly recommend these cutters as well as Knipex as a brand. They make the best hand tools available in my experience.
