Purpose-built shears
These Knipex combination shears are engineered for right-handed users who regularly cut cardboard, plastics and thin non-ferrous foils such as aluminium, brass and copper. The 40° angled blades and ergonomic curved plastic grips keep the wrist in a natural position during long cutting sessions.
Adjustable joint and offset handles
The adjustable pivot lets the operator set blade tension for different material thicknesses, while the offset handle style moves the hand clear of the workpiece for uninterrupted straight cuts. Red plastic grips provide a secure, comfortable hold without adding bulk.
Capacity limits
The stainless-steel blades cleanly slice through the listed foils and sheet materials but are not suitable for steel wire or iron sheets. Users needing to cut ferrous metals or heavier gauges will require a different tool.

Questions about this item
Do the stainless steel blades on these 7.3" shears need oiling to stay smooth?
A light wipe with machine oil after use keeps the pivot moving freely and prevents corrosion on the stainless edges.
What material stops the 40° offset shears from cutting cleanly during a long session?
Steel wire or iron sheet will damage the blades; the tool is rated for cardboard, plastics, aluminium, brass and copper foils only.
Do the red plastic grips on the 185 mm shears get hot or slippery after hours of cutting?
The ergonomic curved plastic handles stay cool and keep their grip; they do not conduct heat like metal frames.
