The KNIPEX StepCut Cable Shears deliver professional-grade cutting performance in a compact 6 1/4″ design. Featuring innovative step-cut technology, these shears separate and cut individual wires sequentially, reducing cutting effort by 40% compared to standard cable shears of equivalent length. Built from high-grade forged tool steel with induction-hardened edges (56 HRC), they handle multi-core stranded copper and aluminum cables, plus single and multi-stranded wire up to 1/0 AWG with ease. The adjustable bolted joint ensures precise, smooth cuts, while the pinch guard protects operators’ hands. One-hand operation and 1000V-rated ASTM handles make these shears ideal for electricians and cable professionals seeking reliable, efficient cutting without hand fatigue.
