StepCut cable shears with step cut up to Ø 15 mm, VDE tested insulation, 160 mm - Knipex 95 16 160 SB

Every centimetre counts in a distribution board, and a 50 mm² cable still has to be parted cleanly. The 95 16 160 SB StepCut cable shears solve this with a stepped cutting edge: the steps sever the cores one after another, which makes the cut up to 40 % lighter than with a standard cable shear of the same length, although the tool measures only 160 mm.

Advantages

• Step cut: the steps of the cutting edge sever the cores one after another, so the cut is up to 40 % lighter than with standard cable shears of the same length.
• Cuts finely stranded copper and aluminium multi-core cable up to Ø 15 mm (50 mm²) and solid copper and aluminium cable up to 5 x 4 mm², in both cases without crushing.
• Only 160 mm long and correspondingly light, so it stays easy to handle in distribution boards and narrow control cabinets.
• Cutting edges additionally induction hardened, cutting edge hardness approx. 56 HRC.
• Bolted joint, precise, smooth running and durable, plus a pinch guard for safe work.
• Insulated multi-component grips, VDE tested for work on live parts up to 1000 V.

Areas of use

Electrical installation, control cabinet and distribution board building, service and maintenance on plant. The compact design suits work in tight spaces where cable up to 50 mm² still has to be cut.

Standards and conformity

The handles are insulated with multi-component grips and VDE tested for work on live parts up to 1000 V according to IEC 60900. The manufacturer lists the base version 95 16 160 with the standards DIN EN 60900 and IEC 60900.
