Typical application areas of the Knipex wire rope cutters include the following: the broken clutch cable of the classic car is replicated because no original parts are available. New handbrake cables on truck trailers are produced from cable sold by the metre. These wire rope cutters from Knipex are the ideal tool in these and many other cases. With cutting capacities of up to Ø 7 mm in the case of stranded Cu cable and up to Ø 5 mm with wire rope, they are suitable for all installation work and work in workshops. Two valuable additional functions on the Knipex wire rope cutters replace two tools. With the accurately shaped crimping dies for end sleeves and end caps, Bowden cables and Bowden cable sleeves can be directly assembled after cutting. After shortening, end sleeves are pressed on to Bowden cable sleeves to prevent the risk of injuries. The space-saving, inset opening spring provides added comfort, saving the user one hand movement during each cutting operation. As soon as manual force is withdrawn, the spring opens the pliers automatically. Those who cut wire rope frequently will quickly learn to value this feature. For transport, the wire rope cutters are secured using the pawl to prevent inadvertent opening. The adjustable bolted joint permits accurate, permanently zero backlash operation. 1000 Volt Insulated No Material Type Chrome vanadium heavy-duty steel, forged, oil-hardened Handle Type Plastic coating Surface Finish Polished Other Surface Finish Black atramentized Knipex 95 61 190 7 1/2″ Wire Rope Shears
