Knipex 95 16 165 Cable Shears 165mm Chrome Multi-Grip

The Knipex 95 16 165 is a 165 mm chrome-plated cable shear designed for cutting multi-stranded and fine-stranded copper and aluminium cables up to 50 mm² in cross-section. Using a scissor-principle cutting action rather than the blunt meeting of side-cutter blades, it requires approximately one third of the force of a conventional side cutter. The handles are insulated with multi-component sleeves and the tool is VDE-tested to DIN EN 60900 and IEC 60900.

Features and benefits:

• Scissor-principle cutting action requires approximately one third of the force of a conventional side cutter, reducing fatigue during extended use.
• VDE-tested to DIN EN 60900 and IEC 60900 for safe use on electrical installations.
• Chrome-plated blades provide corrosion resistance and long service life.
• Multi-component insulated handles offer a secure grip and meet VDE requirements.
• Cuts multi-stranded and fine-stranded Cu and Al cables up to 50 mm² (O 15 mm), including common installation cables such as NYM-J 3x1.5 mm and NYM-J 5x2.5 mm.
• Compact 165 mm length suits work in confined spaces and cable ducts.

Applications:

• Cutting NYM-J and similar sheathed installation cables to length in domestic and commercial wiring.
• Trimming multi-stranded copper conductors during electrical panel assembly and distribution board wiring.
• Cutting fine-stranded flexible cables in control cabinet and machine wiring.
• Sizing aluminium cables for mains supply connections up to 50 mm².
• General electrical installation work where repeated cable cutting makes force reduction important.
