Product Information
Full details
The Beta 1128BAX Electricians Scissors are precision-engineered tools designed for professional electricians and tradespeople who require high-performance cutting and hole-enlarging capabilities. The key benefit of this tool is its double-acting cam mechanism, which drastically increases leverage for cleaner cuts with less manual effort. A notable caveat for users is that the high-hardness DLC coating is specialized for durability and may feel different in terms of grip and surface texture compared to standard stainless steel scissors.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
Can these scissors cut steel wire?
These scissors are optimized for electrical materials and plastics; cutting hardened steel wire may damage the blade edge.
What is the benefit of the DLC coating?
The Diamond-Like Carbon coating increases surface hardness for abrasion resistance and provides a low-friction surface for smoother operation.
How do I use the milling profile?
Insert the milling tip into the existing hole and rotate the scissors firmly against the inner edge of the plastic to enlarge the opening.
Are the handles insulated for electrical work?
While the handles are designed for electrical work, these scissors are not rated for live-line high-voltage protection.
How do I clean the scissors?
Wipe the blades with a clean, dry cloth. Avoid abrasive scrubbing pads that might impact the finish of the DLC coating.
Does the case come with the product?
Yes, an articulated plastic storage case is included with every 1128BAX unit.
Troubleshooting
Blade movement feels stiff or sluggish
Clean any debris or adhesive residue from the blade surfaces and apply a light machine oil to the pivot area.
Noticeable blade play or 'gap' during cutting
Adjust the anti-loose eccentric pin using a compatible tool to reset the tension between the two blades.
Difficulty enlarging holes
Ensure the milling profile is flush against the plastic surface and use a steady circular motion to shave material incrementally.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
No complex setup is required for the 1128BAX; the tool is ready for use immediately upon removing it from the included articulated case. To ensure longevity, store the scissors in the provided case to prevent accidental blade dulling against other metal tools. Although the DLC coating is highly resistant to abrasion, it is recommended to avoid using the scissors on hardened steel or masonry to prevent chipping. To clean, wipe the blades with a dry cloth after use; if exposed to corrosive substances, use a light coat of machine oil before storage. Ensure the eccentric pin remains tightened to the manufacturer's specification if any side-to-side blade play is detected over time.
