Knipex 95 12 165 SBA cable shear hand tool

Knipex 95 12 165 SBA Cable Shear

The Knipex 95 12 165 SBA is a 6-1/2 inch shear-type cable cutter built for clean cuts through electrical cables. It suits electricians and technicians who need reliable cutting performance on job sites or in workshops. The tool uses a shear cut action to prevent cable deformation during use. Buyers who need to cut hardened wire, steel rod or non-cable materials should choose a different tool.

Adjustable joint and self-locking design

An adjustable screw joint lets you set the cutting gap to match the cable diameter being cut. The self-locking feature secures the blades in position when the tool is not in use, reducing the risk of accidental cuts or damage. The 2-component comfort grip with double injection moulding provides a secure hold during repetitive cutting tasks. No additional tools are required to adjust the joint or engage the lock mechanism.

Manual operation with low maintenance

The cable shear operates entirely by hand force, so it adds no electrical load or noise to a work environment. Cutting action is quiet and produces minimal vibration during normal use. The durable construction resists wear from repeated cutting of electrical cables. Keep the pivot lubricated and the blades clean to maintain smooth operation over time.
