8 in. 1000-Volt Insulated Cable Shears with Comfort Grip Handles by KNIPEX

The KNIPEX 8 in. Insulated Cable Shears have twin cutting edges precision ground and hardened. Insulated with 2 colors, the dual component handles are 1000V VDE-tested. The shears will cut cables up to 20 mm Dia including copper and aluminum cables, single and multiple wires. They are not suitable for steel wire and hard drawn copper conductors. A low hand force is required due to a favorable lever ratio and blade geometry allowing for clean and smooth cuts without crushing and deformation. The initial cut can be made using the upper cutting edge. If a higher hand force is required, the final cut or additional cut can be done with the cutting-edge profile near the joint. The shears have a hand guard, adjustable screw joint, and self-locking feature.
