Precision Cable Shear for Electricians

The Knipex 95 11 200 SBA is an 8 inch forged shear cutter built for electrical and data cable work. Its oil-hardened special tool steel blades deliver a clean, smooth cut without crushing or deformation up to 25/32 inch diameter copper or aluminum conductors. A self-locking mechanism and pinch guard support safe, one-hand operation on site.

Adjustable Joint Fits Tight Panels

The screw-adjusted bolted joint lets you set blade tension for the cable size at hand, reducing the force needed for each cut. This frees up the other hand to hold the cable run steady in crowded enclosures or conduit bodies. The compact 200 mm length keeps the tool inside shallow tool bags and control cabinets alike.

Low-Fatigue Hand Tool Operation

Forged construction and hardened pivot points keep friction low during repetitive cuts, so hand fatigue stays minimal through a full day of terminations. No external power or hydraulic pressure is required, eliminating pump noise and hose routing. The shear action produces no spark or heat, safe for live-panel environments.

Questions about this item

How long does the adjustable bolted joint stay tight during continuous cutting?

The forged, oil-hardened special tool steel and self-locking design keep the joint secure through repeated one-hand operation without loosening.

Does the pinch guard prevent heat buildup when cutting all day?

The pinch guard protects fingers from the moving joint; the shear-cut action produces clean cuts without crushing, keeping effort and friction low during extended use.

What cable types must I already have to use this shear?

It is designed for electrical and data cables up to 2 AWG, with maximum copper or aluminum diameter of 25/32 in.
