Knipex 95 16 VDE Insulated Tethered Cable Shears Pliers

The Knipex 95 16 VDE Insulated Tethered Cable Shears are professional-grade cutting pliers designed for electricians and contractors working with copper and aluminium conductors. These cable shears deliver clean, precise cuts on both single conductors and multiple stranded cables up to 50 mm² or 15 mm diameter, with no crushing or deformation of the cable end.

Built to exacting German engineering standards, these shears feature precision-ground, hardened blades that maintain their cutting edge through demanding professional use. The one-handed operation and protective guard make them ideal for working in confined spaces such as consumer units, junction boxes, and electrical enclosures. The adjustable bolted joint with self-retaining screw ensures consistent cutting performance throughout the tool's lifespan.

VDE tested for electrical safety, these insulated cable shears provide essential protection when working on or near live conductors. The integrated tether attachment point makes them compliant with drop protection requirements when working at height, particularly valuable for scaffold work, tower installations, and elevated electrical maintenance. Note that these shears are not suitable for cutting steel wire or hard drawn copper conductors.
