Description

The KNIPEX wire rope cutter features induction hardened blades that provide smooth cutting capability 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 requires little hand force and provides a mechanical advantage to achieve an easier cut. The plastic-coated nonslip 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 so the tool is in the closed position during transport. This design also features two crimping dies for end caps and end ferrules.
