Overview

The Deutsch JX-1943C is a wire cutter sized for 14, 16 and 18 AWG wire, built with a PP plus TPR handle and weighing about 267.62 grams. Its sizing makes it a purpose built tool for those specific electrical wire gauges rather than a general cutter.

Rather than a universal cutter, this tool has notches sized for 14, 16 and 18 AWG wire specifically, which suits electrical or wiring work at those gauges. The PP plus TPR handle combines a rigid plastic body with a rubber overmold for grip, trading some of the heft of an all metal cutter for lighter overall weight.

Who it's for
