Purpose and user

The Jonard BSHORTH SE is a 6 1/2 in diagonal cutter designed for electricians who need a manual wire-cutting tool. It suits technicians working with solid or stranded conductors up to 20 AWG and those stripping 22-24 AWG wires.

Practical limits

The cutter is uninsulated and carries no voltage rating, so it must not be used on live circuits. It is not ESD-safe, non-sparking or tether-ready, limiting its use in static-sensitive, hazardous or height-safety environments.

Deciding specification

The maximum jaw opening of 1 3/8 in and a jaw length of 1 1/2 in set the physical capacity for wire diameter and access in tight spaces. Buyers needing larger cutting capacity or insulated handles should select a different model.

Questions about this item

How do I choose between the 22 AWG and 24 AWG stripping capability on these cutters?

The tool is designed to strip both 22 AWG and 24 AWG wires, so you do not need to choose a version; one cutter handles both gauges.

What does the 20 AWG maximum wire cutting gauge mean when I am on a job site?

You can cleanly cut solid or stranded copper conductors up to 20 AWG; anything thicker risks damaging the cutting edges.

Since the cutter has no voltage rating, what does that limit in daily use?

The tool is uninsulated and not voltage rated, so it must only be used on de-energised circuits to avoid shock hazard.
