Precision Shear Cutter for Wire Rope and Data Cable
The Knipex 95 61 190 is a 7-1/2 inch shear-cut wire cutter built for electricians and technicians who need clean cuts on wire rope and data cable. Its bolted joint keeps the blades aligned for precise guidance, while the internal opening spring and slim design reduce hand fatigue during repetitive tasks. The chrome vanadium heavy-duty steel construction ensures durability in daily professional use.
Shear Action Limits on Medium Steel and Data Cable
The shear cutting action handles wire rope up to a maximum diameter of 5/32 inch and data cable up to 9/32 inch. Medium steel wire thicker than 5/32 inch exceeds the practical cutting capacity of this tool. The screw adjustment allows the joint to be readjusted over time to maintain blade alignment, but it does not extend the maximum material diameters the cutter can process.
Capacity Headroom for AWG 8 and Smaller Conductors
This cutter comfortably handles wire thicknesses up to 8 AWG, providing ample headroom for common electrical and data installation work. Cutting edges hardened to approximately 64 HRC retain sharpness through extended use on copper and aluminium conductors. High leverage action reduces the effort required for each cut. It is not suited for cables or wire rope exceeding the stated maximum diameters.
