Cable Shears Plastic Coated Grip with Return Spring 165mm

The Knipex 95 21 165 Cable Shears are professional-grade cutting tools designed for clean and efficient cutting of copper and aluminium cables. Ideal for electricians and installers, these shears deliver precise cuts without crushing or deforming the cable, making them suitable for both single and multi-stranded conductors.

Manufactured from high-grade vanadium special tool steel, the blades are forged and oil-hardened to provide outstanding durability and long service life. Precision ground and hardened cutting edges combined with an optimised blade geometry and high transmission ratio allow cables to be cut with minimal effort using one-handed operation.

These cable shears feature an internal protected opening spring that automatically reopens the tool after each cut, improving efficiency and reducing hand fatigue during repetitive work. A protective guard helps prevent hand pinching, while the adjustable screw joint allows the tension to be set for optimal cutting performance. Fitted with durable plastic coated handles for improved comfort and grip, the Knipex 95 21 165 cable shears are a reliable tool for everyday electrical installation work. Please note: not suitable for cutting steel wire or hard drawn copper conductors.
