Electrical communications shears

Jonard JIC-186 shears cut electrical and data cables with high-carbon stainless steel blades hardened to HRC 58-60. Dual-component nylon and Santoprene handles are ergonomically shaped for comfort during extended use. The screw-adjustable pivot keeps blade tension precise for clean cuts on Kevlar-reinforced materials.

Replaces standard snips

Standard snips dull quickly on aramid fibres and lack the pivot control needed for communications cable. These shears keep an edge longer and allow fine tension adjustment so installers can trim jacket and strength members without fraying. The upgrade pays off when daily volume makes blade changes or hand fatigue a bottleneck.

Check before ordering

Verify that your work involves electrical or data cable with Kevlar strength members; the tool is not designed for heavy-gauge power conductors or sheet metal. Confirm that a 0.2 kg hand tool fits your tool belt or pouch. California Proposition 65 warnings apply to this product.

Questions about this item

What screw adjustment does the JIC-186 use for blade tension?

The shears feature a screw adjustment that lets you set blade tension for consistent cuts on Kevlar and electrical cable

How do you set the pivot screw correctly when you first use the shears?

Tighten the pivot screw until the blades meet cleanly along their full length, then back it off just enough for smooth action without play

When should the high-carbon stainless blades be replaced?

Replace the shears when the heat-treated HRC 58-60 edges no longer shear Kevlar cleanly or show visible nicks that cannot be honed out
