These compact scissors have superb 4-in-1 combi blades constructed from advanced materials, allowing a variety of tricky materials to be cut with ease - leather belts, CDs/DVDs, thick cord and rope, copper braid, thick electrical cable (including mains cable), thin aluminium, brass & copper sheet, even branches around your garden! (see product gallery for more examples). The scissors also have integral wire cutting jaws for cutting of solid copper wire. The ph-55 scissors also perfom great in packing / dispatch departments as they facilitate opening of packaging boxes without risk of damage to the contents inside. Supplied with a plastic protective cap. Review: Essential for First Aid Kit - Very sharp. Very strong. I replaced the cheap junk shears in my FAK after discovering how useless they were, whilst trying to cut someone's long-haired dog free from brambles. This is not the situation you want to be in when you find out that your kit is junk. These replacements really are worth the money. The blade protection fits with a nice click and enough force so it doesn't fall off. The grips are sturdy and allow you to apply a lot of force - useful if you need to cut through brambles as thick as your thumb, or boot leather or very heavy cordura. Obviously there is no "guard" as with first aid snips, so caution needed if cutting tight clothing away from skin, and especially since the one scissor blade is semi-sharpened on the outside - good for splitting parcel tape - but so is a key. The serrations at the inside of the scissors work well to grip the thing being cut, so the force is applied directly to cutting, rather than the item sliding forwards out of the jaws as would be the case if there were no serrations. Great quality. Review: Absolutely Brilliant Shears - I love these scissors!! They'll cut through thin aluminium sheet in a pinch but will damaged the teeth a little. Will cut through anything softer with ease - including copper cables and heavy fabric. They're good for wire stripping, opening boxes and cutting zip ties. The sheath has a very satisfying click so they're easy to carry around. Finger holes are plenty big enough for any size hand. They're so good I bought a second pair and carry them with me daily. For £16 you can't go wrong with these. They're cheaper than the Klein ones! ## Features - Compact 160mm heavy duty scissors - easy to carry while still capable of cutting a wide range of materials - Micro-serrated blade grips materials securely for controlled cutting and reduced slipping - Flat blade design supports smooth cutting of paper, tape and sheet materials - Integrated wire cutter allows cutting of copper wire without damaging the main blades - Suitable for cutting rope up to approx. 10mm, insulated cable up to approx. 8mm and VCT cable approx. 2mm x 4 core - Cuts leather up to approx. 5mm, plastic materials and CDs/cards up to approx. 1.2mm (reference values) - Capable of cutting branches up to approx. 5mm diameter for light garden or outdoor use - Wire cutting capacity approx. 1.6mm copper wire and approx. 1.2mm steel wire (reference values) - Supplied with protective cap for safe storage and portability - ideal for toolkits and everyday carry - Made in Japan by ENGINEER - precision tool design with versatile multi-material cutting capability ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B005QTRJA4 | | Best Sellers Rank | 12,765 in DIY & Tools ( See Top 100 in DIY & Tools ) 26 in Shears & Scissors | | Blade Edge | Straight | | Blade Length | 56 Millimetres | | Blade Material | Stainless Steel | | Blade material | Stainless Steel | | Brand | ENGINEER | | Colour | Silver | | Country of Origin | Japan | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 5,368 Reviews | | Finish | Metal,Rust | | Global Trade Identification Number | 04989833034559 | | Handle Material | Leather, Metal, Stainless Steel | | Included Components | Protective cap | | Is the Product Left or Right Handed? | Right Hand | | Item Dimensions L x W | 16L x 8.3W centimetres | | Item Weight | 138 Grams | | Manufacturer | ENGINEER | | Material | Stainless Steel , Leather | | Model Number | PH-55 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Packs | 1 | | Part Number | PH-55 | | Product Style | Single | | Product dimensions | 16L x 8.3W centimetres | | Style | Single | | UPC | 793187545173 785525753302 | | Unit Count | 1.0 count | ## Product Details - **Blade material:** Stainless Steel - **Brand:** ENGINEER - **Colour:** Green - **Material:** Stainless Steel, Leather - **Product dimensions:** 16L x 8.3W centimetres ## Images ![Compact Heavy Duty Scissors PH-55 Tetsuwan GT 160mm - Precision Multi-Purpose Shears for Wire, Plastic, Rope & DIY - with Protective Cap - Made in Japan - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61QimUqo8jL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Style** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Essential for First Aid Kit *by W***H on 15 April 2023* Very sharp. Very strong. I replaced the cheap junk shears in my FAK after discovering how useless they were, whilst trying to cut someone's long-haired dog free from brambles.

Great quality. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely Brilliant Shears *by J***7 on 21 June 2026* I love these scissors!! They'll cut through thin aluminium sheet in a pinch but will damaged the teeth a little. Will cut through anything softer with ease - including copper cables and heavy fabric. They're good for wire stripping, opening boxes and cutting zip ties. The sheath has a very satisfying click so they're easy to carry around. Finger holes are plenty big enough for any size hand. They're so good I bought a second pair and carry them with me daily. For £16 you can't go wrong with these. They're cheaper than the Klein ones! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent *by M***T on 19 January 2021* The stainless steel of these heavy duty scissors are stated to have the Rockwell hardness of HRC 58 which means they will hold a good edge. CAUTION! Be very careful of the wire cutters! Mind your fingers!!! I put the scissors through a similar test as depicted in the video. Using the directions advised by the manufacturer, they cut very well. Their only rival are Leatherman Raptor Shears, except those are for professionals such as medical people such as first responders and Raptors' steel is 420HC Stainless Steel. The shears are comfortable to hold for having glass-filled nylon scales (handles). They can be bought on Amazon. Back to these scissors by ENGINEER. My only complaint are the handles and those nasty wire cutters. The handles, a drab olive green are plasticy, cumbersome and can be difficult for some hands. Their equally plastic sheath leaves a lot to be desired because extracting the scissors is difficult. Also note the sheath can not be attached to a belt, unlike the Raptor Shears. At the end of the day it all comes down to what you can afford. Having already had the Leatherman Raptors for many years and are still good, but at a price, these scissors - not classified as shears - are cheap and will be good for most domestic uses. The reason I gave only 4 stars is because their wire cutters could be dangerous, the scissors' handles are not too comfortable and their blades could rust unless they are kept dry and lightly oiled. ## Frequently Bought Together - ENGINEER PH-55 Multi-Function, 160mm Compact Scissors, Electrician Scissors, with 4-in-1 Combi Blade - cuts Carpet, Leather, Solid Copper Wire, Insulated cable, CDs, Thick Rope & More.
