Wire Cutters GEKO G01361 24" — GEKO 24-inch wire cutting shears

GEKO G01361 24" wire cutters are heavy-duty 24-inch cutting shears engineered for manual cutting of wire and similar metal materials. With long handles and hardened cutting blades, these wire cutting pliers deliver extended reach and mechanical advantage for tasks that require robust hand-operated cutting, such as construction site work, fencing installation, electrical preparatory cutting and general workshop use.

Advantages

These GEKO 24-inch wire cutting shears combine long-reach leverage with hardened cutting edges to enable cleaner cuts on medium-gauge wire and metal straps. The extended handles reduce user effort for repetitive cuts, while the solid construction and durable pivot deliver consistent alignment and cutting performance over time. The tool's size and blade profile make it suitable for both straight cuts and trimming tasks where access is limited.

Suitable for

• Cutting steel wire, fencing wire and tie wire
• Trimming metal straps and similar material in workshop settings
• Construction and site work requiring long-reach manual cutting
• Electrical preparatory cutting of armoured cable ties and grounding wire (where appropriate)

When it may not be suitable

These manual wire cutters are not intended for cutting hardened high-tensile cable, piano wire or large-diameter rod; attempting to cut such materials may damage the blades or pivot. They are also not a substitute for powered cutting tools when high volume or very frequent heavy cuts are required.

Key specifications

• Overall length: 24 inches (approx. 610 mm)
• Tool type: long-handled manual wire cutting shears
• Blade material: hardened cutting edges for metal cutting
• Handle style: long-lever handles for increased mechanical advantage
• Primary use: cutting wire, fencing and similar metal materials

How to use

Position the wire between the blades near the pivot for the cleanest cut, or further toward the blade tips for reachable trims; close the handles firmly and steadily until the blades cut through the material. For repetitive cuts, use the longer handles to apply controlled leverage rather than sudden force. Inspect the blades before use and ensure the pivot is secure; wear appropriate eye protection and gloves when cutting metal to reduce the risk of injury from sharp edges or flying fragments.

What to consider before purchase

• Intended cutting material and maximum wire diameter you need to cut
• Whether manual long-handle shears are preferable to compact cutters or powered tools for your tasks
• Availability of replacement or maintenance (sharpening) options for the blades
• Ergonomics and storage length for your workspace or toolbox

Usage recommendations

Use these GEKO 24" wire cutters for medium-duty manual cutting tasks where long reach and mechanical advantage improve efficiency. Avoid cutting materials beyond the tool's intended capacity, and maintain blade condition to ensure reliable performance.
