Product overview

KNIPEX 95 16 160 StepCut ® VDE Cable Shears

KNIPEX 95 16 160 StepCut ® VDE Cable Shears are precision-engineered cable cutters. They are designed to deliver powerful, controlled cutting performance with significantly reduced effort. These KNIPEX 9516160 StepCut ® VDE Cable Shears feature an innovative stepped cutting edge design that progressively cuts wires one after another. This makes cable cutting up to 40% easier compared with conventional cable shears of the same length. Compact, lightweight and only 160 mm in size, these VDE cable shears provide safe operation on live installations up to 1,000V.

StepCut ® Cable Shears cut multi-core copper and aluminium cables cleanly without crushing them, ensuring reliable results across a wide range of applications. The ergonomic handle design improves cutting feel and control, even when working with larger cable diameters, while the robust bolted joint ensures long-term precision and smooth operation.

Part Number: 95 16 160.
