Cable cutter Knipex 95 62 160

The Knipex 95 62 160 cable cutter is a compact, durable hand tool created for precise cutting of multi-core and single-core electrical cables. At 160 mm length and approximately 170 g weight, it offers a balance of control and portability. The tool’s red handles provide a secure grip while its hardened cutting edges deliver clean cuts with minimal deformation of the conductor.

Advantages

The tool combines a small footprint with robust construction, enabling reliable performance in confined spaces and on-site conditions. Its ergonomically shaped red handles improve handling and reduce slippage during repetitive cutting tasks. Hardened cutting edges and precise jaw alignment extend service life and maintain cutting quality over time.

Suitable for

• Cutting multi-core and single-core electrical cables
• Use in tight or confined working areas
• Electricians, installers and maintenance technicians
• DIY electrical projects and general cable preparation

Key specifications

• Overall length: 160 mm
• Weight: approx. 170 g
• Handle color: red for high visibility
• Compact design suitable for handheld operation
• Hardened cutting edges for durable performance

How to use

Position the cable between the cutting edges, aligning the conductor with the center of the jaws. Apply steady pressure to the handles until the cutting edges close through the cable. For thicker cables, make controlled incremental cuts rather than forcing the tool in a single motion. Inspect the cut end and repeat if a cleaner finish is needed. Keep fingers clear of the cutting area and maintain a firm grip on the handles during use.

Usage recommendations

Use the cutter only on cables within its recommended capacity and avoid cutting ferrous materials or components that could damage the hardened cutting edges. Regularly clean and lightly lubricate the pivot point to preserve smooth action and check the blades for wear; replace the tool if cutting performance declines significantly. Store in a dry place away from corrosive environments.
