Description
The Knipex 95 12 Twin Cutting Edge Cable Shears are professional-grade cutting tools designed for electricians and contractors working with copper and aluminium cables. These precision cable shears deliver clean, smooth cuts without crushing or deforming the cable, making them essential for quality electrical installations. The innovative twin cutting edge design divides the cutting action into two stages: the front cutting area handles the insulating sheath, whilst the rear cutting area cuts through the conductor itself. This clever engineering enables one-handed operation on cables up to 20mm diameter, significantly improving efficiency on site. The precision-ground, hardened blades maintain their cutting performance even with regular use. Ergonomic design features reduce hand fatigue during extended cutting tasks. The favourable lever ratio and special blade geometry minimise the force required from the operator, whilst the integrated pinch guard protects fingers during use. The adjustable bolted joint with self-retaining screw ensures consistent cutting performance and allows for tool maintenance when needed. Please note these cable shears are specifically designed for copper and aluminium cables only - they are not suitable for cutting steel wire or hard drawn copper conductors. Features and Benefits: • Twin cutting edge system enables efficient one-handed operation on cables up to 20mm diameter • Precision-ground, hardened blades deliver clean cuts without crushing or deformation • Low handforce required thanks to optimised lever ratio and blade geometry • Pinch guard provides enhanced operator safety during cutting operations • Adjustable bolted joint maintains cutting performance over time Specifications: Cutting capacity (copper cable, multiple-stranded): 70 mm² Cutting capacity (copper cable, multiple-stranded): Ø 20 mm AWG: 2 / 0
