9" StepCut XL Cable Shears

1. Key Features:

The KNIPEX 9511225 9" StepCut XL Cable Shears are designed for efficient and controlled cutting of various cable types. Key features include a high-leverage joint and long handles, facilitating easier cutting compared to compact shears. The shears utilize dual cutting areas: step cutting edges for precise positioning of cables near the joint, and a front cutting edge for gradual cutting ("nibbling") of larger cables. A slim head design enhances accessibility in confined spaces. The tool incorporates an adjustable, high-leverage bolted joint for precise and smooth cutting, and a pinch guard to protect the user's fingers. Laser-hardened cutting edges (approx. 56 HRC) contribute to durability and performance.

2. Applications:

These shears are ideally suited for professional electricians, technicians, and other professionals requiring the reliable and efficient cutting of various cable types in electrical work and other applications. They excel in situations demanding precision and control during cable preparation.

3. Benefits:

The high-leverage design and long handles reduce the effort required for cutting, minimizing user fatigue. The dual cutting areas enable controlled cutting of both smaller and larger cables. The slim head design improves maneuverability in tight spaces, increasing efficiency and convenience. The adjustable joint ensures consistent performance and longevity. The inclusion of a pinch guard enhances user safety.
