Cable shears for two-hand operation, copper and aluminium cables up to Ø 27 mm, 500 mm - Knipex 95 12 500

On cables up to Ø 27 mm the leverage decides whether the cut succeeds or the cable is crushed. The 95 12 500 cable shears work with a favourable lever ratio and a special blade geometry and weigh only 1090 g at a length of 500 mm.

Benefits

• Low weight with high leverage, 1090 g over a tool length of 500 mm.
• Low hand force required thanks to the favourable lever ratio and the special blade geometry.
• For cutting copper and aluminium cables, solid and stranded, up to Ø 27 mm or AWG 6/0.
• Precision-ground hardened blades, the cut stays clean and smooth without crushing.
• Pinch guard prevents the operator's hands from being pinched.
