Clean and effortless cable cutting

Practical benefits

Genuine Knipex twin edge: You cut copper and aluminium cables up to 20 mm smoothly using the stepped initial and final cut.
Ergonomic multi-component handles: The comfortable grips fit naturally in your hand, reducing strain during continuous cutting tasks.
High leverage one-hand operation: Optimized mechanical transmission allows you to slice through thick conductors with minimal physical effort.

In a nutshell

The right choise for

With the Knipex 95 12 200 sb cable shears, you cut copper and aluminium cables up to 20 mm in diameter or 70 mm² cleanly without crushing or deforming the ends. The innovative twin cutting edge divides the task into two easy steps: pre-cut the insulating sheath in the front profile, then slice through the conductor in the rear profile using just one hand. An optimized lever ratio and hardened precision blades significantly reduce hand force during electrical installations and panel building. The ergonomic multi-component grips prevent hand fatigue during continuous use, while the adjustable bolted joint with a self-locking screw ensures precise guidance and smooth cutting performance every time.
