Side-cutting pliers Knipex 95 11 165

The Knipex 95 11 165 side-cutting pliers are designed for precision cutting of copper and aluminium single conductors and multi-stranded cables. Made from high-grade special tool steel that is forged and oil-hardened, these pliers deliver a clean, deformation-free cut and are not intended for steel wire or hard-drawn copper conductors. The tool's compact 165 mm length and 1.5 cm cutting length provide good leverage while remaining lightweight for single-hand operation.

Advantages

Precision-ground, hardened blades ensure smooth, crush-free cuts. The pliers feature an adjustable bolted joint with a self-retaining screw for long-term alignment and reliable performance. A protective guard reduces the risk of pinched fingers, and the tool's construction allows easy cutting with one hand.

How to use

Position the conductor between the precision-ground cutting edges near the joint, then squeeze the handles with a single smooth motion to achieve a clean cut. Adjust the bolted joint if needed to maintain blade alignment. Avoid cutting steel wire or hard-drawn copper conductors to prevent damage to the cutting edges.

Recommendations

Use the pliers for copper and aluminium conductors and multi-stranded cables only. Keep blades clean and inspect the bolted joint periodically; lubricate lightly after cleaning and store in a dry place to preserve the hardened cutting edges.
