Cutter pliers 95 12 165

for cables

Clean and smooth cut without crushing and deformation Easy cutting with one-hand operation Adjustable bolted joint, self-retaining screw Cuts multi-core stranded copper and aluminium cables up to Ø 15 mm (50 mm²) Not suitable for steel wire and hard drawn copper conductors Precision-ground, hardened blades With guard Why cable should only be cut using cable shears With a tool that is not ideally suited to cable cutting, such as diagonal cutters, the blades meet at an obtuse angle. For this reason, diagonal cutters should only be used to cut single conductors and wire. By contrast, the cable shears from Knipex cut with a scissors action. This means they are therefore excellent for shortening cable, e.g. in house wiring work, such as NYM-J 3x1.5 mm or NYM-J 5x2.5 mm and all other stranded and finely stranded Cu and Al cable up to 50 mm². Due to the nature of their cutting edges, cable shears should not be used to cut hard wire. Knipex 95 12 165: protects the hands of the fitter as well as the end of the cable Thanks to their very sharp cutting edges, the effort needed to cut cable with the Knipex 95 12 165 is just one third of that using diagonal cutters. This reduced effort substantially reduces strain for the fitter, particularly when using the cable shears for prolonged periods, e.g. for house wiring work. Due to a scissors action and the precision ground cutting edges, the ends of cables are also protected because they are not crushed. A clean, technically perfect cut is the condition for subsequent connection work – and a certain result with the Knipex 95 12 165.
