KNIPEX StepCut Cable Shears: A quantum leap in cable cutting

Makes cutting up to 40 percent easier
Good news for all electrical professionals: The KNIPEX StepCut 95 11 160 cuts multi-core cables substantially more easily than cable cutters of a comparable length. It cuts wires and strands one after the other, reducing the effort required by up to 40 percent. This gives the cable shears, which are only 16 centimetres long, a surprisingly high capacity: They easily and precisely cut single and multi-conductor copper and aluminium cables up to a diameter of 15 millimetres (50 mm²) and solid NYM cables up to a maximum of 5 x 4 mm².

Sits comfortably in your hand: Plastic-covered handles
The handles, which have a practical plastic coating applied in a dipping process, make the cable shears non-slip and comfortable to hold. They protect the hands from contact with the bare steel in cold or hot temperature conditions.

The graduations separate individual wires one after the other, reducing effort
This is made possible by inductively hardened blades, with a milled serrated edge on the front and a flat edge on the back. Further plus points: The KNIPEX StepCut cuts surprisingly smoothly, mostly without crushing the cables; the pinch guard prevents injury; the bolted joint enables the cable cutter to work precisely and smoothly.

Step-by-step cutting explained: The KNIPEX StepCut takes a smart approach
Light pressure on the handles is enough for the inductively hardened cutting edges to slice into the sheath of the multi-conductor cable.

This is how the graduations in the blades help
With just a little more pressure, the individual wires are arranged in line with the graduations.

Noticeably easier cutting
The KNIPEX StepCut then cuts the wires: First the single strands at the tip of the cutting edge, then the others. In particular when dealing with solid core lines, you can feel how the KNIPEX StepCut cuts the wires one after the other - right in your hand.
