Features
High-leverage joint, long handles and optimized cutting edges for an easier cut than with compact cable shears. Cuts solid copper or aluminum cables up to 2 AWG, stranded cables up to 2/0 AWG and fine stranded cables up to 4/0 AWG. Dual cutting areas: step cutting edges position cables close to the joint and the front cutting edge is used for the gradual cutting ("nibbling") of larger cables. Easy one- or two-handed operation with minimal handle opening for large cable diameters. Slim head for better accessibility. Not suitable for steel-reinforced cables, e.g. ACSR. Adjustable bolted joint provides precise and smooth cutting. Pinch guard prevents operators' fingers being pinched. Laser-hardened cutting edges (approx. 56 HRC). High-grade special tool steel; forged; oil-hardened. 1000V multi-component grips, ASTM F1505-tested.Made in Germany using high grade steel and other premium materials

Knipex Tools was started in 1882 by Carl Gustav Putsch who set up a shop in the family home specializing in making pliers. To this day, Knipex still specializes in making high quality pliers and in addition to that, they have created some really cool and innovative pliers designs. Knipex specialty pliers include the pliers wrench, the Alligator and Cobra pliers and the Cobolt bolt cutters – each with their own specialties and features that set them apart from common brands. Knipex’s workmanship is also among the best, their tools are made of some of the strongest tool steel available and it’s a difference you can feel. Knipex Tools help you get a grip on whatever job you need to do, so if you need pliers or gripping tools, Knipex is it.
