Why this one
High carbon stainless steel blades
Built from high carbon stainless steel, these blades maintain a keen edge through repeated use on cardboard, packaging, tape, zip ties, wire insulation, and other common shop materials.
Compact heavy duty scissors for tradesmen
At 5-1/2 inches overall, this tool tucks into a chest pocket, tool pouch, or top-tray organizer without wasting space.
Oversized red and black finger loops
The large, ergonomic finger loops provide a secure and comfortable grip even when wearing thin work gloves.
Straight blade design for sharp scissors performance
The straight blade geometry delivers precise, linear cuts ideal for trimming gasket material, cutting labels, slicing electrical tape, or snipping cable ties.
Versatile small scissors for shop and office
Sized to handle detail work that full-length shears make awkward, this compact cutter bridges the gap between a pocket knife and a bulky pair of industrial shears.
Read the full description
Teng Tools delivers a compact, straight-blade cutting tool built for the demands of professional tradesmen and serious DIYers. At 5-1/2 inches overall, this is the cutter you grab when full-size shears are too bulky and a blade alone is not safe or precise enough for the job.
The blades are made from high carbon stainless steel, providing lasting edge retention and corrosion resistance in wet or oily shop environments. Whether you are trimming gasket material, snipping zip ties during a panel build-out, or cutting packaging on a delivery, the straight blade geometry keeps every cut clean and controlled.
Oversized red and black finger loops set this tool apart from flimsy office alternatives. The loops accommodate gloved hands comfortably, and their bold color makes the tool easy to locate in a crowded toolbox or on a service cart. At 84 g (approximately 3 oz), the tool is light enough for all-day carry yet balanced enough to feel purposeful in your grip.
This is a general purpose cutting tool designed for crafting scissors tasks, bench work, field service, and everyday shop duties. Electricians reach for it to strip sheathing. Mechanics use it to cut hose and trim weatherstripping. Installers keep one handy for carpet backing and vapor barrier film. Whatever the material, the straight high carbon stainless steel blades handle it with authority.
Add this compact cutter to your Teng Tools collection and keep a dependable cutting solution within arm's reach at every workstation.
