Knipex 95 11 Twin Cutting Edge Cable Shears

The Knipex 95 11 Twin Cutting Edge Cable Shears are precision-engineered cable shears designed specifically for cutting copper and aluminium cables up to 20mm diameter. Manufactured by the renowned German tool specialist, these shears deliver clean, professional cuts without crushing or deforming the cable.

The innovative twin cutting edge design divides the cutting action into two stages: an initial cut through the insulating sheath in the front cutting area, followed by a final cut through the conductor in the back cutting area. This dual-action system enables one-handed operation even on larger cables, whilst a favourable lever ratio and specialised blade geometry significantly reduce the hand force required. The precision-ground, hardened blades ensure consistent cutting performance across multiple-stranded copper cables up to 70mm².

Built with operator safety and comfort in mind, these cable shears feature an integrated pinch guard that prevents fingers being trapped during use. The adjustable bolted joint with self-retaining screw allows for precise blade tension adjustment to maintain optimal cutting performance. Ideal for electricians and electrical contractors working with power cables and control wiring, though not suitable for steel wire or hard drawn copper conductors.
