Description

The KNIPEX 165mm Cable Shears (95 11 165) are precision scissors-action cable cutters for clean cutting of copper and aluminium cables up to 12mm outer diameter (approximately 35mm²) — the standard size range for the installation and sub-circuit cables used in building electrical work. The precision-ground blades with opening spring provide easy, repeatable cuts with minimal hand effort.
The plastic-coated handles provide comfortable, non-slip grip during cutting operations. The compact 165mm format allows use in panel interiors and tight installation spaces. The opening spring reduces operator hand fatigue during high-volume cutting tasks.
Clean, precise cable cutting is critical for good-quality terminations — a deformed, compressed cable end is harder to terminate correctly and produces a less secure connection than a clean, square-cut end. The KNIPEX 95 11 165 consistently produces the clean-cut cable ends required for professional-quality termination work.
