Knipex 8" Cable Shears with Twin Cutting Edge (9512200)
Knipex 95 12 200 Cable Shears with a twin cutting edge are designed to provide clean, smooth cuts without crushing or deforming the cable. These high-performance shears are ideal for cutting copper and aluminum cables up to Ø 20 mm (70 mm²) in two operations. The initial cut in the front cutter profile slices through the insulating sheath, while the back cutter profile cuts the conductor. This innovative design reduces effort and ensures precision, making it easier for professionals to handle large cross-section cables. The ergonomic multi-component grips and low hand force required further enhance comfort and ease of use. The shears are equipped with precision-ground, hardened blades and a self-locking, adjustable bolted joint, ensuring long-lasting performance and reliability. Note: these shears are not suitable for cutting steel wire or hard-drawn copper conductors.
