Cut cable with large cross-sections professionally and conveniently
Cut stranded Cu and Al cable up to 70 mm² in two operations
The twin cutting edge of the Knipex 95 16 200 is literally special in two respects: with larger cable cross-sections there is an initial cut into the insulating sheath in the front cutter profile; the metal conductors are subsequently cut in the back cutter profile. This division of work on the cutting edge brought about by its design makes work easier for the user. The initial cut in the front profile also provides a hand-friendly grip position for large cross-sections.
Why cable should only be cut using cable shears
Unlike diagonal cutters with blades that meet at an obtuse angle, and which crush cable insulation and deform cable ends, the Knipex 95 16 200 cable shears cut with the twin cutting edge using a scissors action. This principle produces a substantially better result, because the cable is not crushed, but is cut very smoothly and cleanly. They are therefore excellent for shortening stranded and finely stranded Cu and Al cables, also with large cross-sections. For reasons of design, the cable shears must not be used to cut steel wire or hard drawn copper conductors.
Knipex 95 16 200: ideal for electrical instalation
These cable shears conserve the manual force of the fitter and protect the cable insulation by preventing crushing. The precision ground, hardened twin cutting edge delivers lasting clean, even cuts. Due to the favourable transmission ratio, comparatively little effort is required. The precisely running bolted joint also contributes to comfortable work using these cable shears. The bolted joint is self-locking and can be adjusted where necessary. The insulating multi-component grips offer users additional protection from an electric shock when working on live parts.

5.0 out of 5 stars Facile, net , qualitatif
Style Name: AdjustableVerified PurchaseEn tant qu’électricien cet outil est indispensable .
La coupe est net, elle n’écrase pas le câble comme le ferais une pince coupante.
Je l’utilise quotidiennement sur du 3G1,5 ou 3G2,5 et c’est parfait.
J’ai beaucoup d’outil de cet enseigne et je dois dire que c’est du matériel professionnel. Contrairement à d’autre conçurent , ici on ne paie pas que la marque mais vraiment une pince de qualité .
