Knipex Wire Rope Cutter

For a clean cut when working with all types of wire rope, look no further than the innovative Knipex wire rope cutter. This 7-1/2-inch model (95 61 190) cuts wire rope without fanning or splaying the ends, and it's ideal for cutting thicker wire rope. Fully forged from chrome vanadium heavy duty steel, this wire rope cutter also features precise crimping capabilities for end caps on Bowden cable sheaths and end ferrules for wire rope. The smooth cutting capability is due to the unique shape of the cutting edges. The tool's induction hardened blades not only surround the workpiece but also overlap to provide a sheer cut, preventing wire rope from flattening, fanning, and splaying. The high leverage design require little hand force and provides a mechanical advantage to achieve an easier cut. The plastic-coated non-slip handles provide a secure grip in all applications. An internal opening spring helps reduce hand fatigue, while a handle lock keeps the handle in the closed position keeps the tool in the closed position during transport.
