KNIPEX StepCut Cable Shears: A quantum leap in cable cutting
Makes cutting up to 40 percent easier
Good news for all electrical professionals: The KNIPEX StepCut 95 11 160 cuts multi-core cables substantially more easily than cable cutters of a comparable length. It cuts wires and strands one after the other, reducing the effort required by up to 40 percent. This gives the cable shears, which are only 16 centimetres long, a surprisingly high capacity: They easily and precisely cut single and multi-conductor copper and aluminium cables up to a diameter of 15 millimetres (50 mm²) and solid NYM cables up to a maximum of 5 x 4 mm².
Sits comfortably in your hand: Plastic-covered handles
The handles, which have a practical plastic coating applied in a dipping process, make the cable shears non-slip and comfortable to hold. They protect the hands from contact with the bare steel in cold or hot temperature conditions.
Brief overview
Small, light, strong: Comfortable cutting without crushing, despite measuring just 160 mm
Noticeably less effort: The gradations cut wires one after the other
Ergonomic handle design: optimal cutting feel even for larger cable diameters
Cuts stranded Cu and AL multi-conductor cables up to Ø15 mm(50 mm²), solid core cables up to 5x4 mm²
Bolted joint: precise, effortless, durable
High-grade special tool steel, forged, oil-hardened, additionally induction-hardened cutting edges
Fast adjustment at the touch of a button on the workpiece
Chrome vanadium heavy-duty steel, oil hardened

The graduations separate individual wires one after the other, reducing effort
This is made possible by inductively hardened blades, with a milled serrated edge on the front and a flat edge on the back. Further plus points: The KNIPEX StepCut cuts surprisingly smoothly, mostly without crushing the cables; the pinch guard prevents injury; the bolted joint enables the cable cutter to work precisely and smoothly.
