KNIPEX Cable Shears with twin cutting edge are designed for cutting cables up to 20 mm dia. Even in case of large cable cross sections handles are always in a favourable position due to initial and final cut.
Initial cut: using the upper cutting edge, an ergonomic handle opening is guaranteed even in case of large cable diameters | Final cut: if higher handforce is required, an additional cut can be done with the cutting edge profile near the joint. Initial cut with the upper cutting edge - final cut with the lower cutting edge |
