Anyone working live at a distribution board needs a tool whose insulation has been tested and which does not flatten the conductor when parting it. The 95 16 165 SB cable shears cut finely stranded copper and aluminium multi-core cable up to Ø 15 mm, that is up to 50 mm², and their multi-component grips are VDE tested for work up to 1000 V. This version comes on a self-service card in a blister pack.
