KNIPEX 95 12 160 StepCut® Cable Shears with Comfort Handles Burnished 160 mm

KNIPEX 95 12 160 StepCut Cable Shears (160mm) with Comfort Handles, burnished

KNIPEX 95 12 160 StepCut cable shears are compact cable cutters designed to make clean, controlled cuts on copper and aluminium cables with noticeably reduced effort. The StepCut cutting edge geometry works in stages to help cut larger cable diameters comfortably, while avoiding crushing.

Built for electricians and installers who want a small, easy-to-carry hand tool, the 95 12 160 uses a bolted joint for precise operation and long service life, with comfort handles shaped for confident grip during repetitive cutting tasks.

Key Features

• StepCut cutting geometry: Gradations cut the conductors one after the other for up to 40% easier cutting compared with standard cable shears of the same length.
• Clean cutting without crushing: Designed to cut copper and aluminium cables neatly, helping maintain cable end shape for easier termination.
• Bolted joint: Precise, smooth action built for durability during daily use.
• Induction-hardened cutting edges: Cutting edges are additionally hardened for lasting performance (approx. 56 HRC).
• Ergonomic comfort handles: Three-component handle design supports control and comfort, even on larger cable diameters.
• Pinch guard: Helps prevent fingers being pinched during operation.
