Cutter pliers 95 16 200

for cablesinsulated

Clean and smooth cut without crushing and deformation By dividing the cutting actions into initial cut (insulating sheath in the front cutting area) and final cut (conductor in the back cutting area), cables up to Ø 20 mm can be cut in one-hand operation Pinch guard prevents operators' fingers being pinched For cutting copper and aluminium cables up to Ø 20 mm (70 mm²) Not suitable for steel wire and hard drawn copper conductors Precision-ground, hardened blades Low handforce required due to favourable lever ratio and special blade geometry Adjustable bolted joint, self-retaining screw 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.
