Traditional cutters smash and deform the conductors, drastically slowing down the termination process and risking poor electrical connections. The Knipex 95 16 200 neutralizes this inefficiency completely. Engineered with precision-ground, oil-hardened twin cutting edges, these shears operate with a smooth bypass action. This guarantees a clean, deformation-free cut every single time, allowing for instant, flawless wire termination.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"15\"\u003eThe true mechanical superiority lies in the twin-profile design. By using the front profile for the initial sheath cut and the rear profile for the final core cut, you maintain an ergonomic handle width and drastically reduce the hand force required for 20mm thick cables. Fully VDE insulated and certified up to 1000V, this drop-forged tool is an absolute non-negotiable safety asset. It protects your life on live sites, prevents agonizing hand fatigue over a long shift, and acts as a long-term, tax-deductible investment for serious professionals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp

data-path-to-node=\"21\"\u003eNo. These shears feature precision-ground blades engineered specifically for cutting soft copper and aluminum cables. Attempting to cut steel wire, ACSR, or hard-drawn copper conductors will instantly severely damage and chip the twin cutting edges.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"22\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"22\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eHow does the twin cutting edge actually reduce hand fatigue?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"22\"\u003eThe twin-edge system intelligently splits the cutting process. You use the front cutting profile to make an initial cut through the thick insulating sheath, which keeps the handles at a comfortable, ergonomic width. You then move the cable to the rear profile to easily slice through the core conductors, leveraging maximum mechanical advantage and requiring significantly less hand force.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"23\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"23\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eDo these shears crush or deform the cable during a thick cut?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"23\"\u003eAbsolutely not. Unlike standard side cutters or linesman pliers that smash materials together, the Knipex 95 16 200 utilizes a highly precise bypass shear action. This ensures a clean, perfectly smooth cut without any crushing, making cable termination and stripping much faster and more reliable.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Knipex","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50587217100962,"sku":null,"price":224.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0415\/4667\/8434\/files\/imgi_3_9516200_01.jpg?v=1791511183","url":"https:\/\/www.sigtools.co.nz\/products\/knipex-cable-shears-with-twin-cutting-edge-200mm-1000v-vde","provider":"SIG Tools","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
