Cuts cables without crushing them
The cutting edges of the Knipex cable shears 95 05 165 cut material evenly in a scissor action. There is little or no distortion of the cutting area. This cutting quality is achieved by the sharp, hardened cutting edges and the adjustable bolted joint with zero backlash.
