KNIPEX Cable Shears 9511200 Twin Cutting Edge, 8 inches – Precise Copper & Aluminum Cable Cuts

Overview

Made in Wuppertal-Cronenberg, Germany, KNIPEX combines quality, innovation and performance with a commitment to sustainable actions and value-guided design. The 8-inch Cable Shears with twin cutting edge offer professional-grade control for everyday electrical tasks, balancing precision with comfortable operation.

These shears are designed to handle copper and aluminum cables with multiple strands, providing clean cuts without crushing or deformation. A thoughtful lever ratio and blade geometry help reduce hand effort, making longer jobs feel more manageable while still delivering confident results.

What it can cut

The tool accommodates copper cables with multiple strands up to 20 mm in diameter (70 mm²). It performs well on copper and aluminum conductors, but is not intended for steel wire or hard drawn copper. The initial cut can be started with the upper cutting edge; if extra help is needed, the final cut can be completed with the edge near the joint. The result is a smooth, reliable cut suitable for a range of installations.

Design and performance

The twin cutting edges are precision-ground and hardened, ensuring lasting edge life and consistent results across real-world use. A guard, adjustable screw joint, and self-locking mechanism contribute to safe, controlled operation in busy environments.
