Knipex 95 31 VDE Insulated Ratchet Action Cable Cutter 280mm

About this tool

The Knipex 95 31 280 Cable Cutter is the larger variant in the range, offering an impressive cutting capacity of 380mm² or Ø 52mm for copper cable, multiple-stranded (750 MCM). This heavy-duty model is particularly suitable for aluminium sector cable up to 4 x 150 mm², making it the ideal choice for electricians working with larger installations and industrial applications. The precision-ground, hardened blades ensure clean and smooth cuts without crushing and deformation. Despite its increased cutting capacity, this cutter maintains ease of use through the ratchet principle, enabling one-hand operation with minimal hand force thanks to the very high transmission ratio. The two-stage ratchet drive makes cutting through thick cables effortless, whilst the lightweight and compact design still allows use in confined areas. Safety features include a pinch guard to prevent operators' fingers being pinched and a fixed handle with support area for putting down the pliers when cutting. Supplied on a self-service card/blister for retail presentation.
