Knipex Electricians Cable Cut Shears, Self Locking Multi-Component Grips - 165mm Cable shears for cutting solid, multicore and finely stranded Cu and Al cable up to 50 mm² Due to their design, unsuitable for steel wire or hard drawn copper conductors Cut smoothly, cleanly and without crushing thanks to very sharp, accurate cutting edges with precision cut Easy cutting with one-handed operation; pinch protection prevents injuries to hands Adjustable, self-locking bolted joint Forged from high-grade special tool steel, oil-hardened Handles with multi-component grips 165 mm long Weight 250 g Cut cable professionally, ideal for electriciansWhy 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. Bolted joint – adjustable, self-locking and with smooth operation These cable shears are particularly smooth operating thanks to the precisely running bolted joint. The bolted joint is self-locking and can be adjusted where necessary. Users appreciate how easy it is to cut even larger cable cross sections using the cable shears: the product of interaction between all the qualities of these cable shears. Knipex quality – cable shears The cable shears from Knipex are a quality, indispensable tool for house wiring work. Those who use tools every day expect a quality that permits simple and safe work. The tool must also last for many years of hard use. We forge our tools from quality materials, machine them with high precision on modern machinery and harden them with careful multiple stage heat treatment. Every pair of Knipex pliers represents more than 130 years of specialist know-how. MPN: 9512165EAN: 4003773029182
