The Knipex 95 21 165 SB Cable Shears are designed for electricians, installers, and DIY enthusiasts who need to cleanly cut copper and aluminum cables. Their primary benefit is precise, crush-free cutting with minimal effort, thanks to a high transmission ratio and optimized blade geometry. A key caveat is that they are not designed for steel wire or hard-drawn copper conductors. These shears feature durable vanadium special tool steel construction, comfortable PVC-dipped handles, and an integrated safety guard.

No, these shears are explicitly NOT suitable for cutting steel wire or hard-drawn copper conductors, as this can damage the blades.
Wipe the blades clean after each use and store them in a dry place. A light oil application can help prevent rust. Avoid using them on materials they are not designed for.
The safety guard is designed to prevent your fingers from accidentally getting pinched between the handles or blades during operation.
The shears feature an adjustable screw joint. You can tighten or loosen this screw to customize the tension for optimal cutting performance and ease of use.
The Knipex 95 21 165 SB Cable Shears have a length of 165mm.
Yes, due to their design and one-handed operation, they are suitable for both right-handed and left-handed users.
Ensure you are cutting copper or aluminum cable only. Verify the cable diameter is within the 15mm / 50mm² capacity. Check and adjust the screw joint tension; if too loose, tighten slightly. If the issue persists, the blades may be dull and require professional servicing.
Check the screw joint; it may be too tight. Loosen it slightly. Ensure the blades are clean and free of debris or corrosion. Apply a small amount of lubricant to the pivot point if necessary.
Confirm the cable type is compatible (copper or aluminum, not steel). Ensure the cable is fully seated between the blades before cutting. The blades may be dull; inspect them for damage or wear.
Check that the spring mechanism is not obstructed by debris. Ensure the screw joint is not overly tight, which could impede spring action. If the spring is damaged, it may require professional repair.
Setup:
These cable shears are ready for immediate use out of the box. The adjustable screw joint can be fine-tuned if needed to set the blade tension. Simply ensure the joint is firm enough for smooth operation but not so tight that it hinders the cutting action.
