These scissors are definitely sharp but not for low voltage work. There is a piece of plastic at the end of the scissors that keeps pinching my pinky. The problem is that I rarely put all my fingers in the scissors when I'm using scissors at work, which I'm sure is common for cable installers. Also, wire cutters won't be able to cut wire mesh without a lot of effort, and the handles will leave marks on your palms with so much effort. I'm sure they're great for housework, but I wouldn't recommend them to other LV techs.
