Product Description
Kennedy 5" handle snips are a compact hand-cutting tool for precision work, sized for detail tasks rather than heavy-duty cable or trunking cuts.
This isn't a CCTV-specific accessory — it's a general workshop/DIY tool that occasionally turns up on an installer's bench for trimming small items during a camera or cabling install. If you're after dedicated cable cutters for coax, Cat5e or armoured cable, check the tool's cutting capacity before relying on it for that job, as the source specification here doesn't state a maximum cutting diameter or blade material.
What we can confirm
- Size: 5" handle
- Use case: precision cutting, described as suitable for both professional and DIY applications
- Build: described as durable and ergonomic
What to check before buying
- Cutting capacity — no maximum wire/material gauge is listed, so confirm it suits your specific cutting job before ordering
- Blade material and hardness — not specified; if you need something for hardened cable or steel, ask before assuming
- Brand/MPN — not confirmed on this listing, so if you need OEM-matched parts or spares, verify separately
If you're specifically kitting out for CCTV installation, pair this with dedicated cable strippers or crimpers rated for the cable type you're running, rather than relying on general snips for anything load-bearing.
