KNIPEX StepCut Cable Shears: A quantum leap in cable cutting
Up to 40% easier cutting

Good news for all electricians: KNIPEX StepCut 95 11 160 makes cutting multi-strand cables significantly easier compared to standard cable shears of the same length. The cutters cut wires and fibres one by one, reducing the required force by up to 40%. This 16 cm long tool offers surprisingly large cutting capacity:

It cuts single and multi-strand copper and aluminium cables up to 15 mm (50 mm⊃2;) in diameter easily and precisely.
It cuts solid NYM cables up to a maximum of 5 x 4 mm⊃2;.

Comfortable to hold: Safety thanks to VDE handles

Insulated handles, also known as VDE handles, protect against electric shock up to 1,000 volts. KNIPEX tools meet stricter standards and safety standards according to DIN EN / IEC 60900.
