KNIPEX 95 16 165 VDE Cable Shears – 165mm, 1000V Insulated

The KNIPEX 95 16 165 VDE Cable Shears are designed for electricians, HVAC technicians, refrigeration technicians and maintenance professionals who need clean, smooth cutting of copper and aluminium cables. With a 165mm body, chrome-plated finish and VDE-tested insulated multi-component grips, these cable shears are ideal for electrical installation, switchboard work, control panels, service vehicles and maintenance tool kits.

Unlike standard diagonal cutters, these cable shears use a scissor-style cutting action to cut cable cleanly without crushing or deforming the conductor. This helps create a neat cut end for stripping, terminating and fitting cable into terminals or connectors.

The KNIPEX 95 16 165 cuts multi-core stranded copper and aluminium cable up to Ø 15mm / 50mm². The sharp precision-ground hardened blades allow easy one-hand cutting, while the adjustable bolted joint with self-retaining screw helps maintain smooth operation over time.
