Knipex 95 16 VDE Insulated Twin Cutting Edge Cable Shears

The Knipex 95 16 VDE Insulated Twin Cutting Edge Cable Shears are professional-grade cable cutting tools designed for electricians working with copper and aluminium cables. These precision shears deliver clean, crush-free cuts on multiple-stranded cables up to 70 mm² or 20mm diameter, making them ideal for electrical installation and maintenance work. Built with precision-ground, hardened blades, these cable shears provide smooth, deformation-free cuts essential for professional electrical connections. The special blade geometry combined with a favourable lever ratio significantly reduces the hand force required during operation, minimising user fatigue during repetitive cutting tasks. The adjustable bolted joint features a self-retaining screw for consistent performance over time. Safety is prioritised with VDE testing certification for insulated work, whilst the integrated pinch guard protects operators' fingers during use. These shears are specifically designed for copper and aluminium cables and should not be used on steel wire or hard drawn copper conductors. Suitable for contractors and electricians working with AWG 2/0 cable sizes, they combine German engineering precision with practical functionality.
