Cable shears with twin cutting edge, VDE 1000 V, copper and aluminium cables up to Ø 20 mm, 200 mm - Knipex 95 16 200

Cutting a Ø 20 mm cable with one hand usually fails on sheer force. The 95 16 200 cable shears split the job, the insulating sheath is cut in the front cutting area and the conductor in the rear one, and they do it with VDE tested insulated handles for 1000 V.

Benefits

• For cutting copper and aluminium cables up to Ø 20 mm, that is 70 mm² or AWG 2/0.
• Twin cutting edge, dividing the work into an initial and a final cut allows cables up to Ø 20 mm to be cut in one-hand operation.
• Clean and smooth cut without crushing and deformation, the core structure stays intact.
• Low hand force required thanks to the favourable lever ratio and the special blade geometry.
• Insulated handles with multi-component grips, VDE tested to DIN EN 60900 and IEC 60900 for work up to 1000 V.
• Adjustable bolted joint with self-retaining screw, plus a guard against pinched fingers.

Technical data

Areas of use

Electrical installation, switchgear and plant construction as well as maintenance, wherever work is carried out on or close to live parts up to 1000 V. According to the manufacturer the shears are not suitable for steel wire and hard drawn copper conductors.

Standards and conformity

The insulated handles are tested to DIN EN 60900 and IEC 60900 and approved for work on live parts up to 1000 V AC. According to the manufacturer the shears contain no substances of very high concern under REACH. The RoHS directive does not apply.
