Cable shears
Our 95 XX 165 series Cable Shears are now available in an upgraded version with optimised cutting capacity. They enable smooth, crush-free cable cuts with a higher cutting capacity, whilst requiring 20 per cent less effort than the previous models. The ergonomic design of the handles enhances comfort and improves handling, whilst the new, adjustable precision joint is reliably secured against accidental release.
Manual force reduced by 20%
due to optimised joint and blade design
Greater opening width
Allows larger cable diameters to be inserted whilst maintaining the same hand position, compared with the previous model.
Precision joint
With a special screw that can be tightened and adjusted, secured against accidental loosening. Models in the 95 2X 165 series also feature an opening spring.
Catch
For safe transport of models with an opening spring.
Handle sleeves extending right up to the hinge
For greater comfort and effortless cutting, even for those with small hands.
Thanks to lower cutting forces, greater diameter capacity and improved wear resistance
Suitable even for smaller hands, thanks to raised handle sleeves, a longer lever arm and a concealed closing stop
Featuring a special screw for initial adjustment and fine-tuning, and optionally with an opening spring
Optimised cutting capacity
The upgraded Cable Shears ensure clean, crush-free cable cuts. A 20 per cent reduction in the force required makes one-handed cutting easier, whilst the wider opening width of the cutting edges also allows for the cutting of larger cable diameters. Laser-hardened cutting edges ensure a long service life.

Ergonomic design
The ergonomic design, with handle sleeves extending right up to the joint, ensures comfortable and effortless cutting, even for those with smaller hands. At the same time, the longer handles provide greater leverage when required, allowing more force to be applied during cutting. The concealed closing stop reduces the risk of injury whilst cutting. On models with an opening spring, a catch also ensures the cable shears can be transported safely.

Precision joint
The precision joint is fitted with a high-quality special screw, which is reliably secured against accidental loosening thanks to its high clamping torque. It is easy to adjust and re-adjust, thereby enabling consistently precise work. On selected models, an opening spring also facilitates the controlled and comfortable opening of the cable shears.
