Knipex StepCut XL Cable Shears (9″)
- High-leverage joint, long handles and optimized cutting edges for an easier cut than with compact cable shears
- Cuts solid copper or aluminum cables up to 2 AWG, stranded cables up to 2/0 AWG and fine stranded cables up to 4/0 AWG
- Dual cutting areas: step cutting edges position cables close to the joint and the front cutting edge is used for the gradual cutting (“nibbling”) of larger cables
- Easy one- or two-handed operation with minimal handle opening for large cable diameters
- Slim head for better accessibility
- Not suitable for steel-reinforced cables, e.g. ACSR
- Adjustable, high-leverage bolted joint provides precise and smooth cutting
- Pinch guard prevents operators’ fingers being pinched
- Laser-hardened cutting edges (approx. 56 HRC)
