95 12 Cable Shears

The Knipex 95 12 165 SB Cable Shears are precision cutting tools designed for electricians and electrical contractors working with copper and aluminium conductors. These professional-grade shears deliver clean, smooth cuts on both single conductors and multiple stranded cables without crushing or deforming the cable structure. Built with precision-ground, hardened blades, these cable shears provide reliable performance when working with softer conductor materials up to 50 mm² or 15 mm diameter. The tool features an adjustable bolted joint with a self-retaining screw, ensuring consistent cutting action throughout its service life. One-handed operation makes these shears particularly useful when working in confined spaces or on ladders where maintaining balance is essential. The integrated guard protects the user during operation, whilst the ergonomic design facilitates comfortable extended use on larger electrical installations. These shears are ideal for cutting power cables, control cables, and distribution wiring in commercial and domestic electrical work. Note that these shears are not suitable for cutting steel wire or hard drawn copper conductors, which require different cutting tools.
