Designed for cutting copper and aluminum cables, these Knipex Cable Shears deliver clean, deformation-free cuts thanks to precision ground, hardened blades. The cutting action is divided between the front and rear blade sections, allowing cables up to 25/32" in diameter to be cut in a single one-handed motion. Engineered for efficiency, the optimized cutting edge and favorable lever ratio reduce effort, while a pinch guard enhances safety. The adjustable, self-locking bolted joint ensures lasting precision. Built from forged, oil-hardened special tool steel with 1000V VDE-tested insulated grips for professional electrical work.
