The KNIPEX 95 12 200 is a 200 mm cable shears with twin cutting edge that cuts copper and aluminium cables up to 20 mm diameter or 70 mm2 (AWG 2/0) in one-hand operation, splitting the work into an initial sheath cut and a final conductor cut.
Features:
- For cutting copper and aluminium cables
- Twin cutting edge divides the cut into an initial sheath cut and final conductor cut
- Cuts cables up to 20 mm diameter in one-hand operation
- Clean, smooth cut without crushing or deformation
- Low hand force due to favourable leverage and special blade geometry
- Not suitable for steel wire or hard-drawn copper conductors
- Precision-ground, hardened blades
- Pinch guard and adjustable bolted joint with self-retaining screw
- High-grade special tool steel, forged and oil-hardened
Specifications:
- Finish: Burnished
- Handles: Multi-component grips
- Cutting capacity: up to 20 mm diameter / 70 mm2 / AWG 2/0
- Weight: 324 g
How does the twin cutting edge work?
The front profile makes an initial cut into the insulating sheath of larger cables, then the rear profile completes the cut through the conductors. Splitting the work this way lets the KNIPEX 95 12 200 cut up to 20 mm diameter cable one-handed with noticeably less force.
